haven heard of any news on this opening. maybe current economic situation does not permit the opening of this programme.

better apply NZ WHV..

Im applying oz whv myself, am looking thru the info, thinking of getting an agent to do it since they are experienced in this (i guess )
Better spending more money to be safe than sorry?
Is anyone applying yet?
Also, can anyone recommend some nice travel agencies who are experienced in arranging such visa?
Many thanks in advance.

anyone successfully applied for one..can share your experience..

when is the application date starts every year? i'm trying to apply one too.....is it better to apply through an agent?

Its better if you apply yourself
LINK!
Not that hard to apply, just fill in the form, read the instructions and send to Australian High Com in KL...
Although the website hasnt reveal anything about the open date, so might wanna email them and ask them whether if it still open

issit open for application yet?

it's been open a looooong time already. if i'm not mistaken, its launched in Feb this year. i applied for it and got it. pretty simple and straight forward. if you're living in KL area, then apply by yourself, its not that difficult or complicated.
reason why i said if you live in KL region is cos you need to go to the High Comm a few times, and if you're from outstation it might be time consuming. plus, you also need a letter of good conduct. not sure of the other places you can get em, i got mine from Putrajaya

I’ve been dreaming to werken in australie ever since. I really love the ambiance of the place and living there would be great. Do you think it’s a good idea if I settle in a foreign land after I find a job there?

Well...you will never know until you try.

So many people would love to take up the opportunity. If you have it, why not give it a go. Try it, if you don like it, you can always come back and proudly tell people you have worked and travel Australia.

Once you have hit over 31 (if not mistaken) it is then very difficult to go and work there unless your company sponsors you.

Good luck!

just go for it. you only live once anyways. i went for 4 months and didn't regret it one bit

guys , im interested in this. can tell me what job is available especially in aussie . if in NZ normally the jobs would be fruit plucking etc...

what about in aussie?

how much total cost of all this expenses?
and the wage paid by them?

wow.. good to know that you had great experience at aus. mind to share with us how you meet these 2 requirements? thanks

# have a letter of support from your government
-> how to get this?

# have functional English
-> you went for any English exam?

fruit picking oso in oz.
but the fruit season is not really well this yr.
maybe if u r lucky, then u'll get a job.

#1- letter of good conduct. google it. you can find a copy online. print it out, let commissioner of oaths sign and bring it to putrajaya. straight forward and simple enuff.

#2. i had a letter from my uni saying that my whole degree was conducted in english. that was sufficient for myself
