Bushfire recovery efforts to count as 'specified work' for Working Holiday Makers
Under these changes, WHMs will be able to be count paid or volunteer work on bushfire recovery efforts in a declared disaster area as 'specified work' towards eligibility for a second or third WHM visa.
This will include recovery work currently being undertaken by WHMs in these areas. The Department’s website will be updated with further details when the changes are in place.
In addition, Working Holiday Makers (subclass 417 and subclass 462 visa holders) assisting bushfire recovery efforts can now do paid or unpaid work for up to 12 months with the same employer or organisation without requesting permission from the Department.
