Don’t rush! The pool is not about “first come first served”. 
It does not matter whether you apply on the first day, tenth day or twentieth day of the season.

Experience from the past 7 years has shown that the pool opens at the beginning of December and is open all year round until all spots are taken. It closes around October/November the following year. This means that you can apply for the Working Holiday at any time during this year as long as there are spots left. 

After the pool is open, and as long as it is open, you can follow the status of the spots of your country. The numbers are updated every Friday.

No one  is given preference in the pool and the chances of an invitation are the same for all profiles in the pool. No matter if you apply alone, or with the help of an organization or pay a ton of money to an agency. No matter whether you have just graduated from high school as a student or whether you already have a PhD.

Take your time and answer the questions correctly. If the profile is already in the pool, important answers can NOT be changed because they are grayed out. If you’ve made a mistake, you’ll have to withdraw the profile and start all over. This means creating a new profile and waiting for an invitation again!
