Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462)

Can I get into Australia for a working holdiay with a criminal record?

When you want to go on a working holiday in Australia, you need to apply for a Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462). The temporary working visa has the character requirement which states that if you have a 'substantial criminal record' you cannot be allowed entry into the country. The definition of a 'substantial criminal record' is found in Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958(Cth). I have attached some notes about the character test below. Usually, if an offense has been committed where the punishment is 12 months or more a substantial criminal record would exist.

There are other requirements as well. Ask a Just Answer expert above to get the right advice about it.
