What this category covers
The Working Holiday Maker program includes the Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) and Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462). The available subclass, age settings and additional requirements depend on the applicant's passport country.
These temporary visas combine an extended holiday with short-term work and study. Rules for work with one employer, specified work and eligibility for a second or third visa should be checked on the current subclass page.
