    Hi All

    Hoping you can help.
    I work for an IT company in Melbourne (WHV) who happen to have a NZ office. A contract has come up in Auckland which I am very interested in. The problem is I have already used my NZ WHV. The company is prepared to sponsor me here in Oz but this doesn’t extend to NZ (Only allows up to 8 weeks of work in NZ). The company isn’t set up in NZ yet for the sponsorship program (they are in the process of this but not sure when it will come though).
    So im wondering what option might be available to me. .
    I have looked at the migrant worker option but want to explore all options before lodging the expression of interest. I have checked the BUNAC visa. Seems to be geared towards backpackers. Can I sneak in on that as a professional? I have emailed them about this in the meantime.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks
    Karl
