Track your 88 days. Secure your second year.
The 88-day regional work requirement for Australian Working Holiday Visas (subclass 417 & 462) is complex to track manually. Orary calculates it automatically from your real hours.
What are the 88 days?
To be eligible for a second-year Working Holiday Visa in Australia, you must complete 88 days of specified regional work during your first year. A third year requires an additional 88 days — 176 in total.
The detail most people miss: these are not calendar days spent at work. They are visa-accredited days calculated from the hours you work each week, using an official government formula.
How visa days are calculated
Each Monday–Sunday week earns a number of visa days based on total hours worked that week:
Weeks run Monday to Sunday. Hours below 4 earn 0 visa days. Days accumulate across all your weeks of work.
