Tax
Tax rates are determined by workers' circumstances and current working arrangements. If you don't provide an Australian Tax File Number (TFN) you will be taxed at the highest rate. More information and a TFN can be obtained from the Australian Taxation Office.

Extending your working holiday
If you are visiting Australia on a 12 month Working Holiday Visa and wish to extend your stay, you can get a 12 month Visa extension by doing three months of Harvest work in an approved postcode. Some of these postcodes are within the Yarra Valley Harvest area. So if you don't want to go home after your first 12 months, talk to us!
