What this does This notice sets the postal address where people must send their Working Holiday Maker visa applications if they have previously held this visa.

Who it affects People applying for a second or subsequent Working Holiday Maker visa (subclass 417). First-time applicants use different arrangements; this address is specifically for repeat applicants.

Why it matters The law requires repeat applicants to send their paper applications (with correct pre-paid postage) to a specific post office box. This document officially designates that address as:

E-Visa WHM National Processing Office
PO Box 1496
HOBART TAS 7001
AUSTRALIA

Using this address ensures applications reach the correct processing centre and comply with the legal requirements set out in the Migration Regulations. The address took effect on 1 November 2005.
