Can I bring my family with me on a Subclass 417 visa?

No, you cannot bring your family to Australia on a Subclass 417 visa. A Subclass 417 visa is a temporary visa that allows one young national (18-30/35 years) to work, study, and visit Australia for one year. Once the first Work and Holiday visa expires, they can apply for a second and third Work and Holiday visa and stay in the country for three years.
 

A Subclass 417 visa does not allow family members or partners to come to Australia unless they apply for a separate visa. They cannot be included as members in the initial visa application.

Bring your family on different visa options to Australia

A Subclass 417 visa holder can bring their family with them, but their family member can separately apply for certain visas in Australia. There are two options to bring family members to Australia, such as:
 

Subclass 600 visa (Tourist visa)

The Subclass 600 visa allows an applicant to see family and friends in Australia as a tourist or visitor or to travel to Australia except for business and medical purposes. Applicant’s family members must apply for this visa from outside the country. Family members can stay with this visa in Australia for 12 months. If they are planning to work in Australia with a Working Holiday visa, even if their family is there with them in Australia, they are not allowed to work in Australia with you.
