section_headers: Bridging visa holders
I am a Bridging Visa holder and want to depart Australia. What should I do?
section_content: The Department’s Status Resolution Service can assist eligible individuals
wishing to depart from Australia (where this is currently possible). The
Department contracts the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and
Serco (Homeward) as service providers to facilitate its voluntary return and
reintegration programs.
Returns assistance may be available and may provide an eligible recipient with
one, or any combination of assistance, including:

independent returns counselling
plane ticket
assistance to obtain travel documents
reception assistance in country of return
travel assistance to final destination

To be considered eligible for returns assistance, you must:

be a non-citizen;
not hold a visa that permits re-entry to Australia;
elect to voluntarily return to a country-of-origin or a country where you have a right of entry and stay; and
demonstrate you are unable to self-fund their return.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does address the question somewhat. It can be improved by adding such things as "Yes, it can be extended ONLY if" or "No, it cannot be extended UNLESS you".
This information is about return assistance and does not provide any information on extending a working holiday maker visa.
