IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Australia and China have agreed to a Work and Holiday visa arrangement.
What does the change mean? Australia will grant up to 5000 Work and Holiday visas to Chinese nationals annually.
Background: Australia’s Work and Holiday program allows young adults aged 18 to 30 to take holiday in Australia while working on a short-term basis, usually for up to one year.
BAL Analysis: The Australian Government has said the addition of China to the Work and Holiday program will attract Chinese visitors to Australia’s fast-growing tourism sector and lead to job growth, particularly in rural areas.
