Hi folks, thanks for having me in the chat. Heres my situation. I am from the UK and in 2013/14 I entered Australia on my first year WHV. I was in the country for 5months While I was there my mum got diagnosed with cancer so I returned to the UK. Unfortunately she passed away and so I did not return to Australia as I had a lot to deal with in the UK. Because of this I never completed my 88days of specified work. I am now in a place where I would like to return to Australia to carry on where I left off. My question is; do the Australian government consider extenuating circumstances when looking at second year applications? I understand the specified work is a requirement and I had planned happily to do the work if things hadn’t have gone the way they did. Thank you in advance, pete
