Re: hi everyone - new to the forum and starting the process now

You can extend your WHV for another year whilst in Australia which'd give you more time to find sponsored employment.

Same(ish) name, different company's, no matter how they try to tell you otherwise.

Re: Move earlier than planned - car question

Still worth it?:confused:
