Picking apples in the Huon Valley on a 417 visa. Count toward 88 days?
Answer: Yes, it can
Yes. All Tasmanian postcodes are Regional Australia, and harvesting or packing fruit is specified work for 417s.
The Home Affairs instrument lists 'harvesting and/or packing of fruit and vegetable crops' as plant and animal cultivation work, and lists Tasmania's Regional Australia area as 'All postcodes'.
