I have already arranged a working holiday visa and was told that I would need £2000 sterling in my bank account. Does anyone know if it is ok to have a print out from my internet banking instead of a bank statement, as this would be more up to date as I will be traveling prior to entering Australia?
When I applied for my work visa, I had to do the same thing (show evidence that you have £2000). I was flapping as I didn't have an up to date statement - so I printed off a balance slip at a cash machine. It worked a treat ! So get yourself to a local mini bank, it saves a bit of hassle.
you should try appling for visa on line with http://www.visas-australia.com/ as according to the application form they sent me they do not need any evidence of funds.
the also offer a free visa deal with cover works insurance. www.coverworks.com
Worth a look
