Contact UsA working holiday in Australia is the perfect way to improve your English whilst exploring this fascinating country. Young people from the ages of 18 to 30 can apply for either a Working Holiday Visa or Work and Holiday Visa and fund their travel and studies through paid work.
Whether you apply for the Working Holiday Visa or Work and Holiday Visa depends on which country you come from. For an up-to-date list check the relevant visa pages on the official Government website: Working Holiday Visa Countries and Work and Holiday Visa Countries.
Both types of visas allow you to:
Whilst the visas offer a lot of flexibility, there are some requirements that applicants need to fulfill:
* Due to the restrictions on age and the limited length of work, some applicants prefer to apply for a Student visa where there are no restrictions for the lifetime of the visa.
Applicants for both types of working holiday visas, need to apply from their own country and processing applications generally takes up to 8 weeks. If applying for a second working holiday visa, this can be done directly in Australia. Please note, as visa caps apply on the Work and Holiday Visa, some applications may be turned down.
When you combine your Working Holiday with an English language course at LSI Brisbane, we’ll help you find your feet and make the most of your time in Australia. You’ll receive practical advice about setting up a bank account, accessing local services, arranging health insurance and general travel advice. In addition LSI can advise on job searches and assist with CVs and interview techniques. We can also arrange unpaid Demi-pair or paid au-pair placements during your Working Holiday Visa.
