Our tool is an algorithm that we built with the backpacker community and employers who contacted us to help. It is NOT an official tool built by the Australian government, and it cannot be responsible of the issue of your Second Year Visa application.
You can use this tool to help you keep track of your 88 days: just add your payslips on your personal account, which is secure by the SSL protocol. We do NOT sell or give your information.
1. Select your employer in the list (or create one)
The algorithm will detect if your employer is located in a Regional Area, which depends on the postcode. If you select an employer that is not located in a Regional Area, this message will appear “Isn't eligible for the 2nd year visa” and your payslip will count for 0 days toward the 88 days.
Note: our team will check the information (activity, name, address, phone, etc.) of the employer you created with your payslip; if the information is relevant, your employer will appear on the map to help the backpacker community to find work. Please only add relevant information to help us.
2. Complete the details of your payslip
By adding your payslips our algorithm will determine how many hours you’ve worked according to the date and the gross wage.
You need to work at least 30h and earn the minimum wage per week (567.9 $) to get your days. If you add at least two payslips, days between payslips will be considered as days off and will count towards your 88 days if:
- the period between each payslip is less than 3 days
- the payslips count at least 5 days of work
Note: You can still change the working hours per day for each payslip if you want to adapt the result according to 'the normal number of hours of a full-time worker in your industry'. To know more about working hours you can see the question "How many hours do I need to work per week?"
