Australia’s Work and Holiday visa offers young people an opportunity to experience life in another country without having to commit to a long-term study programme or secure a permanent job before travelling. For Indians hoping to explore overseas work opportunities, the scheme provides a way to spend a year in Australia, earn money and travel while gaining international work experience.
Australia includes India among the countries participating in its Work and Holiday visa programme, known as “Subclass 462”. However, the opportunity is limited by an annual visa cap, and Indian passport holders must first be selected through a ballot before they can apply.
