09.01.2022 Options for backpackers to stay in WA The Morrison Government has made it easier for backpackers on Working Holiday Maker (WHM) visas to stay in northern WA during COVID-19. Recent changes mean WHMs can now count critical COVID-19 related healthcare work in WA towards a second or third WHM visa.... WHMs working in tourism and hospitality in northern Australia are exempt from the usual restriction on working with one employer in one location for more than six months, as are those working in aged care and disability services, agriculture, construction and mining. During COVID-19, this has been extended to 12 months for those working in critical industries like food processing, health care and childcare, to give certainty and flexibility to workers and employers. WHMs can now also apply for an additional twelve-month COVID-19 Pandemic Event visa, if their visa is close to expiring and they want to continue to work in these critical sectors.
