Australians
Australians have the most options for obtaining legal work visas in a variety of European countries. This is because the Australian government has a very welcoming attitude towards working holiday makers from Europe and, as the program tends to be reciprocal, this opens lots of doors for the globetrotting Aussies.

Below is a summary of the countries where Aussies can seek working holiday visas. Fees and supports funds mentioned are in Australian funds unless otherwise stated.
