|
|
From 1 November 2005, working
holiday makers who have worked as a seasonal worker in
regional Australia for a minimum of three months while
on their first working holiday visa, be eligible to apply
for a second working holiday visa.
For the purposes of meeting the requirements for a second
working holiday visa, seasonal work and regional Australia
are defined as: |
Seasonal
work: harvesting and/or packing of fruit and
vegetable crops, pruning and trimming vines and trees,
thinning and trimming flowers and bunches and general
maintenance crop work.
Regional Australia: anywhere in Australia except
Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, the NSW Central Coast,
Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne or the ACT.
Any area identified at: www.jobsearch.gov.au/harvesttrail
requiring harvest workers comes within the definition
of ‘regional Australia’.
Working holiday makers who intend applying for a second
working holiday visa will need evidence of the length
of time they have spent working as a seasonal worker in
regional Australia. Before commencing seasonal work in
a regional area, working holiday makers should obtain
a copy of Form 1263 Working Holiday visa: Employment Verification
from their nearest DIMIA office, or from the forms section
of the DIMIA website at: www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1263.pdf
This form should be used to record all employment details
and will be required when completing an application for
a second working holiday visa.
Information about seasonal work opportunities in regional
Australia can be found on the Harvest Trail website at:
www.jobsearch.gov.au/harvesttrail.
Other acceptable evidence of seasonal work for working
holiday makers who undertook seasonal work in Australia
before May 2005 may be payslips, group certificates, tax
returns, and employer references.  online application
