Under the Work and Holiday program, up to 1000 young travellers from India will be allowed to work as they travel in Australia. Indians will be eligible for a Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462), which is valid for 12 months. They will be allowed to leave and re-enter the country as many times as they like during this period.
Work and Holiday Visa holders can do any kind of work in Australia. They can, however, only work for the same employer for a period of six months. This program also allows them to study for four months (17 weeks).
Who all will be eligible for the Work and Holiday Visa?
People who have completed two years of study after their secondary education and possess a functional level of English proficiency will be eligible for this visa.
