88-day farm work eligibility: what to verify

A practical checklist for checking specified-work eligibility without relying on a job title or postcode alone.

Checklist

  • Confirm your exact visa subclass and current conditions
  • Check whether the work type is specified for your visa
  • Check the work location against current official regional rules
  • Confirm the actual duties—not only the job title
  • Keep payslips, dates, hours and employer details

Practical tips

  • 1A regional postcode alone does not make every job eligible
  • 2Ask the employer to describe the day-to-day duties in writing
  • 3Use Department of Home Affairs information as the primary source
  • 4Keep contemporaneous records from your first day
  • 5Seek qualified advice if your situation is uncertain
