19 countries and territories on Australia's list
Australia's Department of Home Affairs lists the following 19 destinations under its reciprocal Working Holiday arrangements:
- Belgium
- Canada
- Cyprus
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Hong Kong SAR (PRC)
- Ireland
- Italy
- Japan
- Malta
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Republic of Korea
- Sweden
- Taiwan
- United Kingdom
The participating destinations cover parts of Europe, Asia and North America.
The Australian government also provides links to the relevant embassy, high commission or official administrative department for each participating destination to help prospective applicants obtain further information.
African countries not included
No African country appears on Australia's current list of reciprocal Working Holiday partners.
This means citizens of countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya are not covered by these specific reciprocal arrangements.
Those seeking to travel to Australia for work or tourism would therefore need to explore other visa options for which they may be eligible.
The Working Holiday arrangements are designed to give young people from participating countries an opportunity to experience life in Australia while undertaking work during their stay.
