12 Months WHV with One Employer.
If you hold a Working Holiday (subclass 417) or Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa, you can do any kind of work over the course of your 12-month stay in Australia.
However, there are limitations on the timeframe you may work with any one employer.
Mandatory visa condition 8547 limits you to a maximum period of 6 months’ work with any one employer.
If your work does not fall within an exemption to condition 8547, you will have to seek permission to work longer than 6 months for the same employer.
How to request permission to work longer than 6 months.
Immigration may give you permission to work longer than six months with the same employer if:
- you have applied for a visa allowing ongoing full time work and
- you are awaiting the outcome of your application or
- your work is critical to your employer.
If you have already submitted a request for approval to work for longer than 6 months for the same employer, you can continue working for the same employer until you receive a written outcome of your request.
You must submit your request before the initial 6-month period lapses.
If you submit your request after the period has already lapsed, you must stop working for the same employer and wait for the outcome of your request.
