Student and Working Holiday Maker Visa Changes
Last week the Federal Government announced some changes to staff you employ who have a student or working holiday maker visa.
Firstly for all workers under the student visa, there is no longer a limit on the hours they can work in any workplace / industry. Previously this was limited to 40 hours a fortnight unless in aged care, hospitality, tourism.
Secondly, until the end of 2022, there will be no limit on the length of time working holiday makers can work for the same employer. Previously they could only work a maximum of 6 months with any employer.
These changes may give you some more flexibility with staff you employ under a student or working holiday maker visa.
