The Working Holiday Visa (WHV) allows young people aged 18-35 from eligible countries to work and travel in Australia for up to 12 months. The subclass 417 is for passport holders from countries like France, UK, Germany, and Canada, while 462 covers countries like the USA, Argentina, and Thailand. You can do any type of work, but to extend your visa you need to complete 88 days of specified work in regional areas.

SuperNomad aggregates farm job listings from Facebook groups across Australia, updated daily. You can filter by state, job type (fruit picking, farm hand, packing), and salary. Many farms also recruit through local backpacker hostels and word of mouth. Key farming regions include Bundaberg (QLD), Mildura (VIC), Shepparton (VIC), and Carnarvon (WA).

To apply for a second or third year Working Holiday Visa, you need to complete 88 calendar days (about 3 months) of specified work in regional Australia. Eligible work includes agriculture, farming, fishing, forestry, mining, and construction. Your employer must be in a designated regional postcode. SuperNomad marks jobs that are eligible for the 88-day requirement.

Farm workers in Australia typically earn between $25-35 AUD per hour, depending on the type of work and location. Piece-rate work (paid per bin or tray) can earn more for fast workers. The national minimum wage is $24.10/hr. Many farm jobs also include accommodation, which helps save money. Construction and hospitality jobs often pay $28-40/hr.

Specified work must be done in regional Australia, which includes most of the country outside major cities. Key regional areas include all of Northern Territory, most of Queensland (except Brisbane and Gold Coast metro), regional NSW (except Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong), regional Victoria, all of South Australia, all of Tasmania, and regional Western Australia. SuperNomad shows the state and location for each job so you can verify eligibility.
