The main requirement is to have at least three months of fruit-picking, farm work, fishing, mining or building works (this list is not exhaustive) in some parts of Australia. Your employer must provide a document proving your work. You will have to provide your payroll.

It is impossible to include any member of your family on this type of visa.
