WHV (Working Holiday Visa) challenges.
3 confusing problems with WHV work
*There are definitely more than 3 challenges when looking for WHV work in Australia.
Some areas might use multiple postcodes
Hayman Island
Hayman Island like other places use two different postcodes.
4802 for regional purposes and 4801 for deliveries.
You wont find 4801 on the official list!
Large Postcodes have two major problems!
Large postcodes such as "0872" can cover many states with different regions and work types available.
Making it very difficult to figure out which one you need!
The postcode "3707" covers two states New South Wales and Victoria
Mining work can be carried out in the Victoria part of the postcode but not in the New South Wales part!.
Natural disaster recovery work can be carried out in both states.
It can get confusing!
