Mrs Summer what visa is your husband going out then? Is he also going out on the Working Holiday (WHM) to begin with?
You/he can work for up to 6 months for the same employer while on a WHM visa. So the idea would be to find a great employer, begin working for him/her and then ask him/her to sponsor your husband on the 457 employer sponsored visa (available for up to 4 years).
Once on the 457 visa your husband could make the application for one of the permanent visas.
Your husband could also apply for the permanent visa straight off, but since they take up to 12 months to process, you may run out of time on the WHM visa before the permanent visa is granted.
You should also bear in mind that once the permanent visa is ready to be granted, you and your husband will need to offshore. Most people fly to NZ for a few days.
