1 year visa issued instead of 2

[sarahbarfield93]

Hey! This is my 3rd working holiday visa from Australia, however they only issued me with a 1 year visa instead of 2? I assumed Australia had a 2 year agreement. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to get it extended to 2.

1. Things have changed

Note: As an Australian citizen, you may participate in the Working Holiday category only once. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you may participate in IEC one more time through the International Co-op (Internship) category.

Exception: If you participated in IEC one or more times before 2015, you might be eligible for a final participation of up to 24 months in the category of your choice.
