Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417) — reversal

The Government will no longer proceed with the Working Holiday visa (Subclass 417) — integrity enhancements measure announced in the 2009‑10 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has instead implemented an alternative approach of providing information to employers to make them aware of their responsibilities when employing people under the Working Holiday visa program. This will help both employers and employees meet compliance requirements.

There are no financial implications as the initial measure was to be met from within the existing resourcing of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
