Quoll Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 No. Once in a lifetime unless you did your rural work stint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz yes. WHV for Australia is only one time unless you did farm work for the 2nd yr extension??. What about going to NZ instead, they have a similar WHV & its a beautiful country Edited May 23, 2017 by bella1458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Grundy Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The Department has amended the eligible age for Subclass 417 Working Holiday, which applicants must be aged at least 18 and no more than 35 years old at the time of application. If an age younger than 35 is specified in an instrument for a specified passport, that younger age limit will be applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spleenus Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Are you sure? I thought that this has only been discussed but not enacted yet. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/417 There's also been no change on the website regarding the age change. But then again the website isn't always the bastion of correct information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this hasn't happened yet, on July 2nd some legislation that included increasing the age limit was introduced then repealed a couple of days later and replaced with another that remains 18-30 age limit. aparently they have changed some legislation to make it easier for them to change the age for certain country passport holders in the future. but as yet no age increase for anyone & Immigration website states they are still only considering it Edited July 26, 2017 by bella1458 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
