The Working Holiday Program provides a wonderful opportunity
for self-sufficient and enthusiastic young people from
14 participating
countries to spend up to 12 months
exploring Australia, with the option
of engaging in
casual employment when travel funds need replenishing.
Currently, Australia welcomes over
85,000 working holiday makers every
year! The Australian
Department of Immigration and Multicultural and
Indigenous
Affairs (DIMIA) has now made the visa application
process
much faster and more convenient.
You can apply for a working holiday
visa if you are over 18 years old and not yet 31 years
old. This visa will allow you to work in Australia for
one year but you can only work 3 months with each employer.
Australia has reciprocal Working Holiday maker arrangements in effect with the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Republic of Ireland, Republic of Korea, Malta, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of the People's Republic of China, Finland, the Republic of Cyprus, France, and Italy, Belgium and Taiwan.
Australia also signed a Working Holiday arrangement with Estonia on 20 September 2004. The date on which this arrangement is anticipated to take effect is early 2005.
