How do I apply for a visa to work in Australia


How do I apply for a visa to work in Australia?
I am from the UK - although currently in New Zealand on holiday - and would like to apply for a visa to work in Australia, for less than a year. What is the best way of going about this?

If you are aged 18-30 you can apply very easily for a working holiday visa http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/ If you are over 30 your options are much more limited, you would need to apply for a skilled migration visa which is expensive and can take a long time to be approved. This allows permanent residency.

unless your highly skilled in an occupation Australia needs then a working holiday visa is your only avenue
