A Work and Holiday arrangement for young people in China was announced at the signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement last month. Up to 5000 visa places will be available annually for qualified Chinese nationals aged between 18 to 30 years of age to engage in cultural exchange and tourism.
Visa holders can stay in Australia for 12 months. They can travel around Australia, undertake short-term work or study.
The arrangement will be implemented in 2015. A start date will be announced at a later date.
