Eligible postcodes for a second and third year visa in Australia

After your first Working Holiday Visa in Australia, you have the possibility to renew your WHV in Australia up to 2 times. For this, you must (among other things) have worked at least 88 days in rural areas (specific activities and geographic areas). Since 2019, holders of a WHV can claim a third visa. To be eligible, it is necessary to carry out 6 months of specified work in regional areas while they are on their second WHV. You will find in this article the list of all the regional areas of Australia eligible to get a second and third Working Holiday Visa.

Please note with the Free Trade Agreement, UK passport holders will be granted a visa for up to 3 years without the need to undertake farm work from 1st July 2024. Refer to FTA Australia – UK for more information.

Renew your Working Holiday Visa – Overview

You have the possibility to renew your WHV in Australia up to 2 times. For this, you must be between 18 and 31 or 35 years old (depending on your nationality), have a valid passport and have worked at least 88 days in rural areas (specific activities and geographic areas).

Working Holiday visa makers can also claim a third visa. To be eligible, it is necessary to carry out 6 months of specified work in regional areas while they are on their second year visa. The jobs and eligible areas are the same as for the second visa.

In all cases, all specified subclass 462 or 417 work must be paid in accordance with the relevant Australian legislation and awards.

In addition, following the bushfires and floods that hit the country in the past years, the Australian government has implemented changes to allow backpackers to participate in the country’s recovery while renewing their WHV. New regions and new jobs have been added for renewal. Voluntary work can only be included as specified work where it is related to bushfire recovery work undertaken in declared bushfire-affected areas or to flood recovery work undertaken in flood affected areas (see below).

Eligible Jobs for a second & third year visa

How to find regional work in Australia?

There are different ways to approach employers, either by phone or by contacting farmers in person. Download our Backpackers guide to access contact details of over +500 farms. Vacancies specifically for plant and animal cultivation can also be found on Harvest Trail.

You can also find a job online, by searching on job boards or the website Gumtree, which publishes all kinds of classified ads. Apart from that, you have to watch out for scams! A great way to find a job in fruit picking is by word of mouth. Also, ask around in hostels.

Don’t leave it until the end of your stay to arrange your specified work! Unforeseen circumstances (bad weather, illness or not finding enough work) may prevent you to complete the required period of specified work.

How to better understand the eligible areas?

In Australia, when renewing your Working Holiday Visa, certain job requirements are tied to specific regions of the country. This means that in order to extend your visa, you will need to engage in specific types of employment within designated areas. These job requirements and regional restrictions are put in place to encourage working holiday visa holders to contribute to regional economies and communities by participating in industries that are crucial to those areas.

While some areas will allow for a broader range of regional work types, others will only accept certain jobs that align with their specific industries or needs. This means that in order to extend your visa, you might be required to engage in agricultural, horticultural, or related work in some regions, while other regions may have a more limited scope, focusing on specific sectors like tourism or hospitality. This targeted approach aims to ensure that working holiday visa holders contribute to the diverse needs of different regions, fostering sustainable growth and enhancing local economies.

Disclaimer: The extracted information is subject to change quickly, we advise you to always check the eligibility of the postcode on the Australian immigration website.

    Thanks
    Anna

  13. Hi I’m just wondering if working in a cafe in Dubbo-postcode 2830 counts towards the 88 days? I’m confused by two different answers.
    Thank you

  16. Hello,

    I did reception work for a hostel in Hobart, Tasmania and I was told it doesn’t classify for the 88 days. I am trying to extend for my second year. I wanted to ask as this site says otherwise.

  17. Hi, work as a front house leader in a winery on caversham postcode 6055 counts for extend my visa? The postcode is in remote areas, but doesn’t say hospitality. Please helñ

  18. Hello!
    Im a bit confused by the tables of postcodes here and also in the immi website.
    It is said that hospitality and tourism is just on remote and very remote areas. What about the northern Australia table? Does it count as well for hospitality or not? Thanks in advance!

  19. does anyone knows if working in electrical repairs in one of the flood affected area postcodes (4064) works for your extension to second or third year of whv ?

  20. Hi.
    My property was badly affected by both the bushfires and more recently by two floods. The right skills would be very helpful. Postcode 2325 Laguna in the Boree Valley. Am I able to employ backpackers. Just read the information available and am unsure

  21. Hi there!
    What are the criteria for a farm itself, so that my work at a farm counts towards the 88 days? Does it have to be a certain size or does it need an ABN?
    Cheers!

  22. Hi, I work at Cole’s supermarket in Broome WA. Does working there count for the 88 days to apply for a second year visa?

  23. Hi, thanks for all the information. I just want to clarify one thing, the first set of postcodes listed – is that specifically for construction and cultivation of plants and animal (Regional – Eligible Postcodes)? 4703 is listed as an approved area but immi website says it is not. My employer followed this website and they said they can approve 88 days.

  24. Hey guys!
    I absolutely love the effort you have put into this page!
    It would be amazing if you could make a visual map of the postcodes so one could see what areas and towns were included in the 88 days whv!
    Maybe work for a rainy day!

    🙂

  25. Hi there, thanks for this page and the time you put in it.

    I have a question and I can’t seem to find the answer as everyone got a different opinion on it.

    I work in construction (company post code 6052 so doesnt count as regional) but all my worksites are on Ellenbrook (postcode 6069 which counts) and this is specified on payslips : the company name and postcode are specified like it should on top of the payslip but then on each specific days the hours and place of work are specified.

    Do you know which postcode would work ?

    Cheers
