Upcoming changes to the Working Holiday Maker Programme:

From 1 July 2006, several changes will be made to the Working Holiday Maker (WHM) (visa subclass 417) programme, including:

• Increasing the work limitation with each employer from 3 to 6 months;
• Increasing the study/training limitation from 3 to 4 months; and
• Expanding the definition of ‘seasonal work’ (for second WHM visa eligibility) to include some primary industries (see new definition below).

These changes apply only to WHM visa applications lodged on or after 1 July 2006.
