Subclass 417 (Working Holiday) and Subclass 462 (Work and Holiday) visas


From 21 August 2010, the Migration Regulations will be amended to make changes in relation to Subclass 417 (Working Holiday) and Subclass 462 (Work and Holiday) visas.
The amendments will prevent a person who has previously been in Australia as the holder of a Subclass 462 (Work and Holiday) visa from applying for a Subclass 417 (Working Holiday) visa, and will provide that Subclass 462 (Work and Holiday) visa applicants cannot be accompanied by dependent children (except applicants who are members of a class of persons specified by the Minister in an instrument in writing).
