Extending Your Australian Working Holiday Visa

Many harvest jobs will meet the Second Australian Working Holiday Visa eligibility and count towards the 88 days of specified work. Some regional locations and jobs are ineligible which could lead to the Department of Immigration rejecting your application. So remember to confirm whether or not your fruit picking or harvest job will count towards the Second Australian WHV.

    Hi… Me and my girlfriend are on our working holiday visa and we will be in Melbourne in April. We both are chef and we are been working on the industry since 2007. We like to do something else for a change, and fruit picking caught our attention. Anything that we can do from april to august?? we both like to wake up early and we dont mind at all to do dirty fun jobs.
    Any farm, with accommodation hopefully, will be amazing.
    We will be waiting for any response
    Kind regards
    Nicolas
