Hello,

I am planing to go to Australia on Work and Holiday visa (462).


As per the exemptions below, Can I work for one employer in Sydney for 6 months in the office and then 6 months from home in Sydney (so I will be living in the same apartment all year) or should I change my location to another city?


Exemptions to condition 8547


From 1 January 2024, you can work for the same employer in Australia for more than 6 months without asking permission if you work in any of the following:

  • different locations for the same employer, as long as work in any one location does not exceed 6 months

​​Work in different locations

You do not need to ask our permission to work with the same employer for more than 6 months if you work in different locations, including working from home. Work in any one location must not exceed six months.

For example, you can work for:

  • a business from home or work remotely. A change to or from working remotely or at home counts as a change in location.​


Thank you

Hey @Mila93,


This would be a question best answered by the Department of Home Affairs.


To get the most up to date and correct information, you'll need to contact them directly.


Check out info on visa conditions on the Department of Home Affairs website.
