Regional work in Australia
Regional work is the work that earns working holiday makers a second and third year in Australia: 88 calendar days for the second visa, 179 for the third, done in postcodes the Department of Home Affairs publishes. get88 covers the hospitality side — venues in towns where a paid bar, cafe or hotel shift actually counts.
Two rules decide everything. Hospitality and tourism work counts only in Northern Australia or remote-listed postcodes. Farm work counts across a much wider regional map. The state pages below break down what qualifies where, town by town.
Australia by state

| Northern Territory | 5 | 685 |
| South Australia | 6 | 321 |
| Tasmania | 5 | 170 |
| New South Wales | 3 | 75 |
Reading before the bus
The second working holiday visa guide explains the 88 days end to end, and the age-limit guide covers who can still apply. Which postcodes and which work count is in the specified work guide, and the setup is on the how it works page.
get88 is a job-application tool, not migration advice. Whether a job counts toward your visa is decided by the Department of Home Affairs, and the postcode is what decides it — check the official specified-work pages for the 417 and 462 visas directly.
