Closed Seek to commence UK/Australia visa changes on same day as free trade agreement

Closed on

I want the UK Government to work with the Australian government to ensure that changes to Working Holiday Maker/Youth Mobility schemes, making these available to people aged up to 35, and removing requirements to undertake particular work, to commence on the same date the new FTA comes into force.

I'm turning 35 years old and I want to travel to Australia for work and travel but I'm currently too old for the Working Holiday Maker scheme. This new agreement could will grant me the opportunity and I want to ensure I don't miss out due to my age.

A lot of people are in the same situation and I believe making the changes happen as soon as the FTA enters into force would be highly appreciated by many British and Australian citizens.
