Backpacker farm work FAQ

88 days farm work questions

What is 88 days farm work in Australia?

Many Working Holiday Maker visa holders complete three months, commonly searched as 88 days, of specified work in eligible regional areas to support a second visa application. Check your own subclass and the current agriculture visa guidance with Home Affairs.

What should I check before accepting farm work?

Ask about pay, expected hours, accommodation, transport, physical duties, location, start date, whether the work is paid legally and what records you will receive. Visa holders have the same workplace rights as other employees under Fair Work guidance.

Can I work longer than six months with one farm?

Home Affairs has specific rules and exemptions for Working Holiday Makers, including agriculture-related exemptions. Check the current six month work limitation guidance before relying on a job plan.

I am a farmer. What should I share with backpacker workers?

Share the work type, start date, expected hours, pay basis, accommodation, transport, location and any evidence workers may need. Employers should check work rights and follow Australian workplace laws. Farmers can register farm work interest here.

Is this visa advice?

No. AgPages helps backpackers and farmers connect. Visa eligibility, specified work rules and workplace rights should be checked through official government sources.
