Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my visa has been granted with work rights?
section_content: People who are working in critical sectors will be given permission to work on
their COVID-19 Pandemic event visa. All other people holding this visa will
not have permission to work.
Permission to work is managed through mandatory condition 8107. Workers in
critical sectors who indicate their work activities in their visa application
will be given permission to engage in those work activities when the COVID 19
Pandemic event visa is granted.
People applying for the COVID-19 Pandemic event visa as a last resort to
remain lawfully in Australia until their departure will not be granted
permission to work.
Under condition 8107 a person who is granted a subclass 408 visa for the
purpose of remaining lawfully in Australia until they are able to return home
and who then work, would be engaging in an activity that is inconsistent with
the purpose of the visa grant. Consequently, action could be taken to cancel
that visa.

There is some helpful information here but it could be more detailed (what about people who aren't working in critical sectors etc).

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Discusses a pandemic visa that applies to the circumstances of Working Holiday Makers.
There is some helpful information here but it seems to be about how to get a WHM visa rather than about what people who already have these visas can expect in the near future.

What is the Government doing to support industries that rely on Working Holiday Makers?
section_content: To support the critical sectors of agriculture, food processing, health care,
aged care, disability care and child care, the Government is providing
flexible arrangements for Working Holiday Makers (WHMs).
WHMs working in these critical sectors will be exempt from the six month work
limitation with one employer and will also be eligible for a further visa to
continue working in these sectors if their current visa is due to expire in
the next six months.
If a WHM is working in the critical sectors but is not eligible for a further
visa and is unable to return to their home country, they can apply for a
Temporary Activity (subclass 408) Australian Government Endorsed Event (AGEE)
stream visa.
WHMs who are applying for this visa to work or continue working in a critical
sector must have evidence from their employer that they have ongoing work that
an Australian citizen or permanent resident cannot do.
Employers are still required to abide by all relevant Australian workplace
laws. Overseas workers have the same rights under Australian workplace law as
all other employees.
