1. What is an Australian Agricultural Work Permit?
Australian Agricultural Work Permit (AAWP) is a document that allows foreigners to work in certain agricultural occupations in Australia. This permit is required if you wish to work in the following positions:
- Farm manager
- Farm worker
- Horticulturalist
- Greenhouse technician
- Poultry raiser
- Sheep farmer
- Beekeeper
- Rural mail carrier
- Sheep herder
- Rural truck driver
- Rural truck driver/driverincharge
- Agricultural scientist
The permit is not required if you are a student, a member of the Australian Defence Force, or a member of a special class of persons.
The permit is free and can be applied for online. The application form can be downloaded from the website. The application fee is A$180.
The permit is valid for three years and can be extended for an additional three years.
2. How to apply for your Australian Agricultural Work Permit
Applying for an Australian Agricultural Work Permit can be a daunting task, but with the help of this guide, it will be a simple process.
To begin with, you will need to gather the following information:
- Your passport or Australian driver’s license
- Your visa application form (if you are not a citizen of Australia)
- Your passport sized photograph
- Proof of residence (e.g. bank statement, rent receipt, utility bill, lease agreement)
- Proof of income (e.g. payslips, payslips of previous 3 months)
- Your Australian Agricultural Work Permit application form
Once you have gathered all of the necessary documents, you will need to fill out the application form and send it to the relevant Australian government department. You will need to make an appointment to submit your application and bring all of the necessary documents with you to the appointment.
Once you have submitted your application, you will need to wait for a response. It can take up to 6 months for your application to be processed, so be patient!
3. What to bring with you when applying
When you apply for your Australian Agricultural Work Permit you will need to bring with you the following:
- Your passport
- Your visa
- Your Australian Agricultural Work Permit
- Your Australian driver’s license
- Your passport photo
- Your birth certificate
- Your residency permit if you are not Australian
- Your work permit
- Your passport application form
- Your medical form
- Your vaccination certificates
- Evidence of your skills and experience
- Your bank statement
- Your credit card information
4. How long will it take to process my application?
Once you have determined that you would like to work in Australia as an agricultural worker, the next step is to apply for a work permit. The application process will take around 34 months to be processed, but it is important to keep in mind that this timeline can vary depending on the circumstances of your application.
To begin the application process, you will need to gather the following documents:
- Completed application form
- Two recent passportstyle photographs
- Proof of travel (if travelling for work)
- Your resume or application letter
- Evidence of your skills and qualifications
After you have gathered all of the necessary documents, you will need to mail them to the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). Please note that the application form and all supporting documents must be printed in A4 size or larger and be sent in a sealed envelope. Do not send originals – only copies.
Once your application has been received, it will be assessed and, if all requirements are met, your work permit will be issued. If there are any amendments required to your application, they will be made and you will be notified in writing.
If you have any questions about the application process, please do not hesitate to contact the DIBP. They will be more than happy to help you along the way.
5. What to do if I am refused my Australian Agricultural Work Permit?
If you have been refused your Australian Agricultural Work Permit, it is important to understand your rights and the steps you can take to try and get the permit again.
First and foremost, it is important to understand that you have the right to appeal the decision. The Australian Agricultural Work Permit Appeals Tribunal (AAWPT) is an independent tribunal that can review decisions made by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) not to grant a work permit.
If you are not happy with the decision made by the AAWPT, you have the right to apply for a review by the Federal Court of Australia. This is a very costly and timeconsuming process, and it is important to understand that the court cannot overturn the AAWPT’s decision.
If you have been refused your Australian Agricultural Work Permit and you are not happy with the decision, it is important to seek legal advice.
6. My Australian Agricultural Work Permit has been issued
At last! You’ve applied for your Australian Agricultural Work Permit and now it’s time to start the process of getting your visa. This guide will help you through every step of the way.
If you haven’t already, you’ll need to gather your application forms and documents. You can find these on the Australian Government website, or you can contact your nearest Australian embassy or consulate.
Once you’ve gathered all of your forms, it’s time to start the application process.
The first thing you’ll need to do is fill in an online application form. This can be found on the Australian Government website, or you can download the form from the website and print it out.
When you’ve filled in the online application form, you’ll need to print out a visa application form. This form will need to be signed by both you and your employer.
Next, you’ll need to gather your supporting documents. This includes your passport photos, your visa application form, your work permit, and your employer’s letter of confirmation.
Make sure that all of your documents are original and have not been tampered with in any way. You’ll also need to bring your passport with you to the visa appointment.
What Now?
Now it’s time to make an appointment with the Australian embassy or consulate. You can find the nearest embassy or consulate on the Australian Government website.
You’ll need to bring with you your visa application form, your passport photos, your work permit, and your employer’s letter of confirmation.
You’ll also need to bring your passport.
Once you’ve made your appointment, you’ll need to arrive at the embassy or consulate at the correct time.
You’ll then need to go through the visa application process. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, so be prepared for a long wait.
Once you’ve completed the visa application process, you’ll be given a visa decision letter. This letter will state whether or not you’ve been granted a visa.
If you’ve been granted a visa, congratulations! Now it’s time to start the long process of getting your visa issued. You’ll need to attend an interview and provide additional documents, such as your passport and visa photographs.
If you haven’t been granted a visa, don’t worry. You can still apply for a new visa. You’ll just need to start the process from scratch.
7. My Australian Agricultural Work Permit has been canceled, what now?
If you have applied for your Australian Agricultural Work Permit and your application has been canceled, the next step is to contact the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP).
- If your application has been canceled because you did not meet the eligibility criteria or you have failed to meet any of the conditions of your visa, you will need to go to your nearest Australian Embassy or Consulate to apply for a new visa.

If you’re an Australian citizen or permanent resident intending to work in agricultural activities in Australia, you’ll need to apply for an Australian Agricultural Work Permit. Here’s a stepbystep guide to help you get started.
To get started, you’ll first need to gather the necessary documents. These include your passport, visa, driver’s license, and registration of your vehicle in your name. You should also have copies of these documents and keep them safe.

At the ABF office, you’ll need to provide the following information:
- Your passport and visa
- Your driver’s license and registration of your vehicle in your name
- Your application form
- Your payment
Once you’ve provided all of the required information, the ABF officer will likely ask you to complete a medical examination. You’ll need to provide a doctor’s certificate that states that you are fit to work in agricultural activities.
If you’re applying for a temporary Australian Agricultural Work Permit, you’ll need to provide the following documents:
- Your passport and visa
- Your application form
- Your payment
- Your temporary Australian Agricultural Work Permit will be valid for a period of 12 months. After 12 months, you’ll need to apply for a new Australian Agricultural Work Permit.
