Conditions of the Working Holiday Visa

The main purpose of your visit should be to holiday and travel. Although you may stay for a maximum of 12 months in Australia, you should not work for a full period of your stay. As a Working Holiday visa holder you are not permitted to work for longer than 6 months with the one employer. You are not permitted to extend your employment beyond 6 months with any one employer through the use of business affiliates and/or sub-contracting arrangements or employment agencies. In practical terms, this means that you cannot work for longer than 6 months in the same position, in the same location, doing the same work. If you are found to be working beyond the approved period, you may have your visa cancelled and be required to leave Australia.
