- cultivating or propagating plants, fungi or their products or parts
- immediate processing of plant products

- Mining

Note: The work does not need to be paid work. Work undertaken as a volunteer or through the Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF) scheme can also count toward the three months of seasonal work.
How to calculate seasonal work
'Three months' means three 'calendar' months. Work can be:
- in one block with one employer
or
- in separate blocks with one employer or a number of employers.
The work must be full time work. The days and hours worked should equal the standard for a full working day or week for that employer, that region and that industry.
Evidence of seasonal work
Acceptable evidence of seasonal work (completed while on your first Working Holiday visa) includes either:
- original or certified copies of payslips, group certificates, payment summaries, tax returns or employer references
or
- a completed employment verification form
