Working Holiday mining rules differ between subclasses 417 and 462
Mining in regional Australia can count as specified work for a second or third subclass 417 Working Holiday visa, but subclass 462 has a different industry-and-location list. The exact work, postcode, visa subclass and evidence all matter.
Workforce read
The popular '88-day mining rule' is too broad when stated without the visa subclass. Visa holders should check the current Home Affairs list before accepting a role and retain payslips, employer details and location evidence.
