Work Limitations for Working Holiday Makers
Working Holiday visas are granted with mandatory condition 8547 attached, which limits work with each employer to a maximum of 6 months.
Working Holiday Makers can work for the same employer in Australia for more than 6 months without asking permission if the work is:
in different locations and work in any one location does not exceed 6 months

in certain industries, including aged care and disability services, fishing and pearling, tree farming and felling, construction and mining, in Northern Australia only ( postcode specific)
natural disaster recovery work
in critical sectors, including agriculture, food processing, health, aged and disability care and childcare, anywhere in Australia
