With a Subclass 417 visa, an applicant can work in a specified industry and area of Australia that will address the country's labor shortage. The Working Holiday visa (Subclass 417) allows young nationals from specific nationalities to enter Australia for 12 months and work in the country for a maximum of six months.  
 

Young nationals (aged 18-30 or 18-35) can apply for a Subclass 417 visa, depending on the country, to explore Australia. An applicant can apply for a Subclass 417 visa up to three times and reside in the country for three years individually. However, applicants must have work experience of at least six months in a specified work area for a second and third Working Holiday visa to apply for a Subclass 417 visa again.
 

Applicants can apply for specific industries with an Australian Working Holiday visa, such as hospitality, retail, construction, agriculture, mining, etc.
