The Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Program is one of the many visa options available for the Horticulture Sector.

The Australian Government continues to increase annual caps to a number of countries. AUSVEG will continue to update this list, as announcements are made.

Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Program – consists of 2 streams –
1. Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417)
2. Work and Holiday Visa (subclass 462)

The difference between the two visa streams is that the 462 visa has education requirements, while the 417 visa does not.

A 462 visa requires a letter of support from your government of origin (unless you are from the US), while 417 visa does not.
