Re: Can a Polish Citizan apply for Working Holiday Visa
I would suggest that what most Polish, like other Central Europeans do, is study more affordable English and /or vocational (VET) business/IT/marketing courses in Sydney, Melbourne etc. for personal/professional development, starting about AUD2500 per half year.
Some, like British and others, then choose pathways that may or may not give PR outcomes
If you apply direct you may be charged full prices like western Europeans pay e.g. $AUD4-5500, remember to inform them you are from Poland!
The student visa gives work rights, and I think Poland is AL1, so like British the study visa is done online once you have CoE Confirmation of Enrolment (after study application, offer of place, payment of half year fees and insurance, institution produces CoE which is registered in DIAC system).
Hope this helps, Cheers

It depends on that country's willingness to offer similar opportunities to young Australians.
