Apologies for the double post, but I've just found this info https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/whm-program/specified-work-conditions/6-month-work-limitation I think this means I'll be able to continue working, since it'll be on the bridging visa and the 6 months will have 'reset'?

Hey there, hoping someone can offer some advice. I'm currently on a 417 Working Holiday Visa which is expiring shortly, and my partner and I are about to submit our 820 application for a de facto visa. I'm currently working through an agency, with my contract due to expire next week, shortly before the end of my visa. The issue now is that my employer really wants to keep me, and they're looking to hire me directly (no more agency) once I have my bridging visa for a 6 month contract. The issue is - as you can see, that this will be almost double the six month maximum that I'm allowed to work with any one employer. I'm just hoping someone might have been in the same boat, and knows if the combo of my contract ending (and the break of several weeks between the end of that contract and the possible commencement of the future one), transitioning to a new visa and going from working through an agency to working directly for the company might mean it essentially 'resets' the 6 month limit? Thanks in advance!
