would it be possible?
i wanna go there for the summer, but i dont want to waste my only chance at a year living in your super country by spending 3 months there.
if i was to do wee ty jobs like wash pots in a kitchen, would i get any hassle over visas?
i cant afford to go there for 3 months without working.
any advice? |

hi, im a canadian who's been living here in oz for the past 3 years - i was just at DIMIA getting what is probably my 8th student visa (long story, theyre $400 each); ive learned a fair bit about australian immigration the hard way, so feel free to shoot me a PM if you want any more info.
the short answer to your q is that there's no way to get a work authorisation on your tourist visa. if you find a place to work, you could get them to sponsor you on a short-stay or long-stay business visa, but this isnt something that anyone would do for a 3 month total visit.
australia is a freaking awesome place - dont blow your only one year working holiday maker visa if youre only here for 3 months... i'd say work your arse off and save up before you come. some others might suggest you see if you can find some for-cash work, but personally i'd say its not worth it because DIMIA has a 'dob-in' line that anyone, 24/7, can ring up and rat you out anonymously, getting you deported (with a 3 year mandatory dont come back now y'hear, and a life of misery in terms of international travel) and your employer in a world of hurt.
not what you wanted to hear, but i hope it helps. :) |

| heh, its a good way to get rid of any international students that annoy you, i suppose, considering the 'deport first, ask questions later' approach DIMIA seems to take these days... :nervous: |
