Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument is a postcode map defining which Australian locations count as "Regional Australia" for Working Holiday visa holders who must do specified work to qualify for second or third-year extensions. It names exact postcodes where eligible jobs (e.g., harvesting, mining, construction) must be performed.

It matters to backpackers checking if a workplace qualifies and to employers in those postcodes who need to demonstrate they can offer qualifying regional work.
