language.

Contact the Australian Government office or Visa Application
Centre in the country which issued your passport to confirm
application arrangements (eg. whether there are any additional
local requirements). More information is available from
www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/
Your Work and Holiday visa application is linked to the passport
number provided in your application. If you are granted a
visa, but do not provide the department with the details
of any new passport you use to travel to Australia, you
will experience significant delays at the airport and
could be denied permission to board your plane.
Step 4
Immigration assistance
Lodge your completed application with the correct Visa
Application Charge, and required attachments (see Application
checklist on page 6 of this application) as outlined below.
A person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses,
or claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in
migration procedure to assist you with your visa application,
request for ministerial intervention, cancellation review
application, sponsorship or nomination.
Step 3
Applicants from the USA can lodge their application by post, fax
or hand delivering this application to any Australian Immigration
office overseas. Applicants from Argentina, Chile, Indonesia,
Thailand and Turkey can lodge their application by post, fax or
hand delivering this application to the Australian Immigration
office in their country of passport. Applicants from Uruguay can
lodge their application by post, fax or hand delivering this
application to the Australian Immigration office in Argentina.
Do not send cash or your passport with your application.
Applicants from Bangladesh or Malaysia need to provide their
biometrics (fingerprints scan and facial photograph) at a Visa
Application Centre when lodging an application.
More information is available from
www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/
If you lodge your application with the Australian Immigration
Office in Dkaha, Bangladesh or Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia you will
be required to attend a Visa Application Centre in person to
provide your biometrics.
In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration
assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is
exempt from being registered. Only registered migration agents
may receive a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.
If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from
registration, gives you immigration assistance they are
committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.
Migration agents in Australia
Migration agents in Australia must be registered with the Office
of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of the
MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.
Migration agents outside Australia
Migration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to be
registered. The department may give some overseas agents an
ID number. This number does not mean that they are registered.
Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate
overseas.
What happens next?
Your application will be assessed. You may be asked to provide
additional information to enable a decision to be made. You will
be advised in writing whether your application has been
approved. If your application is refused, you will be given
reasons for the decision.
You should not make any irreversible travel
arrangements until you receive written advice of the
department’s decision on your application.
Note: If you are granted an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or
Maritime Crew visa (MCV) as well as a Work and Holiday visa,
you will activate the Work and Holiday visa on arrival in Australia,
rather than the ETA or MCV. This will activate the 12 month stay
period of the Work and Holiday visa, which will not be able to
be postponed or deferred. If you want to travel on the ETA or
MCV, you must have your Work and Holiday visa cancelled
before travelling to Australia. You will be able to apply for a
Work and Holiday visa in the future, provided you meet the
eligibility requirements.
Migration agent information
A migration agent is someone who can:
• advise you on the visa that may best suit you;
• tell you the documents you need to submit with your
application;
• help you fill in the application and submit it; and
• communicate with the department on your behalf.
If you appoint a migration agent, the department will assume
that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient,
unless you indicate otherwise.
Your migration agent will be the person with whom the
department will discuss your application and from whom it will
seek further information when required.
Important – change of personal/passport details
You are not required to use a migration agent. However, if you
use a migration agent, the department encourages you to use
a registered migration agent. Registered agents are bound by
the Migration Agents Code of Conduct, which requires them to
act professionally in their clients’ lawful best interests.
If you wish to change any details after you lodge your
application, including your passport details, or if you wish to
withdraw the application, please contact the department:
Information on migration agents, including a list of registered
migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA website

agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they must
not charge a fee for their service:
• a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child,
parent, brother or sister);
• a member of parliament or their staff;
• an official whose duties include providing immigration
assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider);
• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or
international organisation.
The department may use a range of means to communicate
with you. However, electronic means such as fax or email will
only be used if you indicate your agreement to receiving
communication in this way.

To appoint a migration agent/exempt person you should complete
Part F – Options for receiving written communications.
Your migration agent/exempt person should complete form 956
Advice by a migration agent/exempt person of providing
immigration assistance.
Form 956 is available from the department’s website

Options for receiving written communications
If you do not appoint a migration agent/exempt person you
may still authorise another person, in writing, to receive written
communications on your behalf. This person is called the
authorised recipient.
To process your application the department may need to
communicate with you about sensitive information, for example,
health, police checks, financial viability and personal relationships.
Electronic communications, unless adequately encrypted, are not
secure and may be viewed by others or interfered with.
If you agree to the department communicating with you by
electronic means, the details you provide will only be used by
the department for the purpose for which you have provided
them, unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use them
for another purpose, or you have consented to use for another
purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.
The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the
security or integrity of any information sent to the department
over the internet or by other electronic means.
If you authorise another person to receive documents on your
behalf and they wish to be contacted electronically, their
signature is required on form 956 or 956A to indicate their
consent to this form of communication.
Note: Electronic communication is the fastest means of
communication available and the department prefers to
communicate electronically because this results in faster
processing.
Authorised recipient information
All written communication about your application will be sent to
your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to
have health and/or character information sent directly to you.
The department will communicate with the most recently
appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one
authorised recipient at any time for a particular application.
You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that
person as if they had been sent to you.
To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:
