Great idea, wonder why they have an age restriction. People who are considering relocating to Australia could take advantage of the VISA. It will give them time to make sure they want to make the move.

My question is, can one use this visa just to travel and not ever bother with the pesky “working” part? Or is there some kind of check to make sure you’re looking for employment while you’re there?

Nicolai, you’re not wrong–like most places, there is no guarantee of employment. People interested in working can use a variety of sources to find open positions. But according to the folks I talked with who chose to go the Working Holiday visa route, it wasn’t difficult for them to find work.

Sounds expensive. Am I wrong, or is there no guarantee of employment?

Any suggestions for those of us, over 30 who will be traveling with our kids? Obviously, we’d switch off working so that one of us would be with the kiddos.

Its a great trip. VisaFirst.com also provide free membership to their working holiday centre in australia to help finding work and other stuff when you book your working holiday visa for Australia through them.

You’ll find that to work in bars ans restaurants etc you need to have done a 1 day course too which you can do on arrival.

Also good way to meet other backpackers
