If you make it over here, you'll fit right in. Women running in and out of the kitchen with snags, and salad, and buns, and drinks, men talking around the barbie and ignoring the women.

Thanks for all the replys guys.

So basically other than having an in demand skill/trade qualification there is no other option other than a holiday?

In all seriousness Steve, that is about the rub of it. There is no open door, there is no "well its a Commonwealth country so don't we get automatic Visa"...its a country which is doing very well and ...for now anyway...can afford to be choosey.

Thanks for the reply.

The wife would be getting a regular holiday visa and would also be looking after the kids while I have the holiday work visa, can she do that?

No, if either of you are on a WHV the kids cannot be in Australia.

No, she cannot. As soon as your dependants enter Australia you will be breaching the conditions if your WHV. No dependants means NO dependants at any time.
