Working Holiday Makers in Australia

Working holiday makers must hold a passport of a country which has a reciprocal arrangement with Australia.

The Working Holiday Program provides opportunities for people between 18 and 30 from some countries (The United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, the Republic of Ireland, the Republic of Korea, Malta, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, Finland, the Republic of Cyprus, Italy and France.) to holiday in Australia and to supplement their travel funds through incidental employment.

A working holiday agreement has also been signed with Belgium. This agreement is not yet in effect.

The working holiday visa allows you to stay 1 or 2 years from the date of first entry to Australia, regardless of whether or not you spend the whole time in Australia.

You are allowed to do all kind of temporary or casual work.

Work for more than three months with any one employer is not permitted.
