Working Holiday Visa Changes

Comments Off on Working Holiday Visa Changes

image showing UK and Australia mapsThere’s good news for Australian vets and vet nurses seeking to work in the UK, and vice-versa, with the Australia-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (A-UKFTA). 

For UK passport holders who apply for Australia’s Working Holiday visa, the new arrangements will see an increase in the eligible age range and removal of specified work requirements.

  • Since 1 July 2023, UK passport holders have been able to apply for a Working Holiday visa between the ages of 18 and 35 years. This is a five year increase from the current maximum age of 30 years inclusive. 
  • From 1 July 2024, UK passport holders will be eligible to be granted Working Holiday visas up to a total of three years without having to meet any specified work requirements. (such as work in a rural or regional area )
  • However, the six-month work limitation per employer will continue to apply to UK passport holders

Similarly, for Australian passport holders who apply for the UK’s Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS), the new arrangements will also see an increase in the eligible age range and the ability to stay in the UK for up to three years.

  • From 31 January 2024 Australian passport holders will now:
    • be able to apply for a YMS visa between the ages of 18 and 35 years. This is a five year increase from the current maximum age of 30 years inclusive; and
    • extend their YMS visa for a third year if they choose. This also applies to New Zealand passport holders.

Volunteering Overseas

Comments Off on Volunteering Overseas

In a reaction to the enforced quarantine of the pandemic in not just our own countries, but also often our towns and cities, travelling is now firmly back on the “to do” list of more people than ever.

Animal Welfare Charities that depend on volunteers suffered severely during the pandemic, so in 2024, maybe you’re thinking it’s time for you to organise that adventure of a lifetime?

Vets, Vet Nurses and Vet Techs are in the enviable position of being able to take their skills to multiple overseas countries, experience local life and culture, educate and teach, expand their own skill set, and make a real difference to animal and human welfare.

Current Opportunities

Kookaburra lists volunteer vacancies free of charge on our website, so if you have an association with a charity organisation overseas and are seeking Vets, VNs, Vet Techs or students, please contact us at jobs@kookaburravets.com .
