1. Work in different locations, with no single location exceeding 6 months.


2. Plant and animal cultivation, irrespective of the location within Australia.


3. Certain industries, such as aged care and disability services, fishing and pearling, tree farming and felling, construction and mining, limited to Northern Australia (refer to the website for the definition of Northern Australia).


4. Natural disaster recovery work.


5. Employment in critical sectors, including agriculture, food processing, health, aged and disability care, childcare, anywhere in Australia.


6. Employment in the critical sector of tourism and hospitality, applicable throughout Australia.


In cases not covered by the aforementioned situations, Working Holiday Makers are required to submit an application seeking permission to work beyond the standard 6-month limitation. The Department of Home Affairs has now introduced a webform for the convenient submission of such extension requests.
