The Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) enables eligible individuals from certain countries to reside temporarily in Australia and undertake approved employment to support their stay. This temporary visa is available to individuals aged 18 to 30 who wish to travel within Australia, undertake regional travel, and obtain work experience. This guide provides a summary of the Work and Holiday visa requirements, outlining how eligible applicants may enter Australia and undertake temporary work in accordance with visa conditions.
The Work and Holiday Visa (subclass 462) is a temporary visa that permits a stay of up to 12 months for work and holiday purposes with multiple entries and exits from the country. This holiday visa is part of the Work and Holiday subclass stream and differs from the 417 Working Holiday visa because only passport holders from specific partner countries are eligible to apply. Many visa holders use this opportunity to visit Australia, explore regional areas, gain Australian work experience, and strengthen their English language skills.
The Subclass 462 visa confers many benefits on its holders:
Applicants must meet specific eligibility requirements to apply for the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462):
To apply for the work and holiday visa, one should be between 18 and 30 years old at the time of application. However, a few eligible countries may provide a higher age limit.
Only citizens of an eligible country with a valid passport can submit a Work and Holiday visa application. The eligible countries include:
Work and holiday visa applicants should meet the character requirements and health requirements and have enough funds to support their stay. Additionally, they must:
The Australian government uses the subclass 462 ballot to manage high demand for the 462 Work and Holiday visa from applicants from China, India, and Vietnam. Eligible applicants can register during the three-week registration window, and officials will invite only those randomly selected to apply for the subclass 462 visa. Registrations for the visa ballot process were open for 3 weeks, from 24 June 2025 to 15 July 2025, for the 2025-2026 program year. Check the Home Affairs Department website for up-to-date information on the future registration window.

Holders of the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) are permitted to undertake short-term courses and employment to support their stay and may travel to and from Australia multiple times during the visa validity period.
With the Work and Holiday visa, individuals can do any kind of work, but with a limit of six months for the same employer. They can also do 3 months of specified subclass 462 work to meet the eligibility requirements for a second Work and Holiday visa.
Work and Holiday visa holders can study for up to 4 months (17 weeks).
The second and third subclass 462 visas require the applicant to work in specific industries or areas of Australia for “specified subclass 462 work” in certain circumstances.
The second visa requires 3 months (88 days) of specified work, while the third visa requires 6 months (179 days) of specified work.
Work and Holiday Visa holders can complete their specified work in one continuous job or across multiple workplaces if the combined time meets the required timeframe and they are paid based on Australian wages and awards.
Examples of eligible specified work include:
General office roles, hospitality roles in non-eligible locations, or construction work in metropolitan areas are not considered specified work for the purposes of the second or third subclass 462 visa.
Following major bushfires, floods, and the critical COVID-19 crisis, the Australian government recognises certain disaster recovery and healthcare roles as specified work for the purpose of determining eligibility for second and third Work and Holiday visas:
Rebuilding fencing, clearing debris, replanting, wildlife care, and providing community support are eligible for “specified work” when done within a government-declared disaster-affected area. Check theDisaster Assist websitefor eligible postcodes.
Assisting in aged-care facilities, medical clinics, contact tracing, nursing, and support services can qualify as “specified work”. Consult the officialDepartment of Home Affairs website for eligible postcodes and evidence.
Applicants who complete the required period of specified work while holding the first or second Work and Holiday visa may be eligible to apply for a subsequent visa.
This visa type requires the candidate to complete 3 months (88 days) of “specified work” in northern and regional Australia while on the first subclass 462 visa to get another 12-month stay permit in Australia.
This visa requires the applicant to complete 6 months (179 days) of “specified work” in regional Australia while on the second subclass 462 visa.
If you hold a valid passport from one of the listed countries:
Important: China, India, and Vietnam passport holders must participate in the Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa ballot for random selection to apply online. For further details, see the New Work and Holiday Visa pre-application process.
