It depends on your age and nationality. Most WHV programs are open to people aged 18 to 30 (sometimes up to 35). See the list of eligible countries above or check the official government website for detailed requirements.
As an agency, we can’t apply for the visa on your behalf, but we’ll guide you through the process, help with documents, and provide support to make it all feel easier and less stressful.
Most WHV jobs are in hospitality, tourism, or agriculture. We help you find a job that fits your experience and language level, many positions even come with accommodation included.
We’ll make sure to secure your job placement first, and then you can apply for your visa. You should apply between 1 and 6 months before your planned departure the earlier, the better.
