Counting questions

Do weekends count in the calculator?

If you worked full-time for a continuous period, use the full-time mode — it counts every calendar day between your first and last day, including weekends, which matches how Home Affairs counts ongoing full-time work. For casual or part-time work, use the days-worked mode and count only days you actually worked.

How many days do I need for a second visa?

3 months — 88 calendar days — of specified work, completed while you hold your first Working Holiday or Work and Holiday visa.

How many days do I need for a third visa?

6 months — 179 calendar days — of specified work, completed while you hold your second visa. Use the 179-day toggle to track it.

Does the calculator check whether my work qualifies?

No — it only counts days. Whether the work itself counts depends on the job, the postcode and your visa subclass. Use the job checker for that.

Full detail: how the 88 days are actually counted.

Is the work you're counting actually specified work?

Days only count when the job and location qualify. Check yours before you rely on them.
