On 1 October 2024, the Australian Government launched a
pre-application process (visa ballot) for the Working Holiday Maker
(WHM) program.
Visa ballot registrations opened for the following high-demand
Work and Holiday (subclass 462) countries:
This ballot aims to provide an equitable, streamlined and
transparent way to randomly select applicants from partner
countries where demand exceeds the number of places available in a
program year. There is an AUD25 registration fee.
The Department will randomly select registrations over the
program year 2024-25.
Successful applicants will be notified by email and instructed
to apply for a Work and Holiday visa online.
