First Work and Holiday visa · subclass 462

Visa cap status history

Australia caps how many first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visas each partner country gets, and publishes every country’s cap status on one government page — which announces nothing and keeps no history.

This is that history: every cap status change VisaCapAlert has observed, with the date we observed it. Pick a country to narrow the list.

About this record

Published on a delay. VisaCapAlert publishes this record on a deliberate delay, so it is a historical reference rather than a live feed. If you need to know as soon as a country’s cap status changes, that is what a monitoring alert is for.

Observed changes, not government timestamps. Each time below is when VisaCapAlert first recorded a newly published indicator on the Department of Home Affairs country-cap page. The Department may have updated that page earlier, between our checks.

Coverage begins when monitoring did. The cap year opened on 2 July 2026, and VisaCapAlert began monitoring in July 2026. A country that was already paused when we first recorded it changed somewhere inside that opening window. We show the window rather than a date, because the date is not something we observed and not something we will invent.

A ballot is not a reopening. CHECK BALLOT STATUS directs applicants to the official ballot process. It does not mean the cap reopened, and it does not mean an application can be lodged immediately. It is shown as its own kind of change, never as an opening.

Official source. Every entry reflects the published indicator on the Home Affairs country-cap page. VisaCapAlert is an independent notification service, assesses no eligibility, and provides no migration advice. Always confirm the current position with Home Affairs before acting.
