Default De-facto visa

Hi everyone, got a little question I'd love clearing up..

Myself and partner are thinking of applying for a de facto visa once we have been together for 12 months, currently I am on the 1st year of my working holiday visa and will be beginning my 2nd year working holiday visa in March '10.

Currently I work for a government employer and understand that after 6 months of continuous work I must leave the employer and work for someone else.. However when I come back for my second year could I work for the same employer again since I will be on a new 2nd year visa or is this not allowed?

Or once I'm on the de facto visa what would I be able to do for work? Would there still be a 6 month limitation per employer as there is with a working holiday visa?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Once you are on the de facto visa you are free to work for anyone for as long as you want. The only restriction will be by those employers who ask for PR or citizenship

Awesome thanks for your response

How about when I return for my 2nd year working holiday visa.. Will I be able to work for the same employer or can one never return to the same employer after working for them for 6 months?

Thank you
