144millerdebrak Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Myself and my partner have been living together for 6 months and are looking into registering our relationship. Just wondering if this could change my working requirements as I'm on a WHV living in a small town, it is going to be difficult for me to change jobs every 6 months, I have been employed 3 months so far. My partner is studying, would registering our relationship change the amount he receives from the government etc? also I can't find a lot of information on bridge visas and if they allow me to work or study for longer periods of time?? any information would really help, I spend a lot of my time trying to understand this whole process Thanks, Mk:cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It doesn't change anything on your visa. Bridging visa a kicks in once your whv expires, but has the same working conditions as your last visa. You can at that point apply to have them lifted though.

Guest Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hmm, I thought if applying for a partner visa and on bridging visa, full work rights were standard now. I referred to this always now http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2012L02217/Explanatory%20Statement/Text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BV you get when you apply for a Partner visa does have unrestricted work rights BUT your BV only takes effect when your previous visa expires - until then, you are still bound by the conditions of the previous visa. The good news though for the OP is that once you have applied for A Partner visa, you can apply to have the 6 month per employer limitation lifted but it doesn't happen automatically. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1445.pdf Form to request permission to work with an employer beyond 6 months on a WHV or W&HV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned it in my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
