The Working Holiday Visa is valid for a period of 12 months from the date of first entry, regardless of whether or not you spend the whole time in Australia. You are permitted to leave and re-enter Australia any number of times during the validity period of the Visa.
You are permitted to work for up with 6 months with each employer and undertake up to 4 months of study or training. It may also be possible to apply for another 12 months Working Holiday Visa if you have completed at least 3 months of seasonal work in regional Australia.
