Hi guys,

I'm currently on WHV and I can only work for 6 months with one employer.

My question is: after the 6 months with my current business, is it ok for me to be employed by their parent company for the following 6 months? The parent company has a different name and a different address. Or can I work as a contractor (on an ABN) for the parent company?

Thanks for your insights,
Cheers!

According to DHA,

6 month work limitation
You can work for the same employer for more than 6 months without asking permission if you work:
  • in different locations and work in any one location does not exceed 6 months
  • in plant and animal cultivation anywhere in Australia
  • in certain industries in northern Australia only
If you want to work longer than six months with one employer in any other circumstance you need to request permission.

So, I guess you fall under the first criterion.

  • Do not post the same thing in multiple places.
  • No personal contact and/or non-English phrase is allowed.
  • Always post in a relevant thread or open a new one.
  • Better to use the reactions in a post to congratulate/thank.
