88 Days / 179 Days
Some Working Holiday Makers may need to complete specified work to become eligible for a second or third Working Holiday visa. The rules vary depending on visa subclass, passport country, industry, type of work performed, location, employer and dates.
In plain language
Three months of specified work is commonly described as 88 days. Six months is commonly described as 179 days. But calendar days, worked days, industry, employer and location all matter. What counts for one visa might not count for another.
We cannot confirm that a job will qualify for your visa. What we can do is help you find employers hiring for common specified-work industries, and point you to the official sources so you can check for yourself before starting.
