Australia bids to attract millions of Brits to work Down Under

From today, a big change in Australia's Working Holiday Visa rules means that millions more Brits can now head Down Under to work. Changes to the maximum age limit have now come into force so people from the UK between the ages of 18-35 can move to Australia to work for up to three years.

Previously, people over the age of 30 were not eligible for the visa. However, following the rule change, millions more are being invited to move to Australia for a working holiday.

Sally Cope, Tourism Australia’s Regional General Manager for UK & Northern Europe, believes the five-year age range increase presents a "world of openings to young professionals and also offers an incredible lifestyle with Australia ready to welcome them", reports The Liverpool Echo.
