Inside tip · Carnarvon

Picking fruit in Carnarvon (6701) can count toward a second 417 visa.

Answer: Legit

Legit. WA postcodes 6200 to 6799 are regional, and harvesting fruit and vegetables there is specified work.

A second 417 needs at least 3 months (88 calendar days) of specified work, paid under Australian law and awards. UK passport holders applying from 1 July 2024 don't need specified work.
