How do I get a visa to Work and holiday in Australia?

The visas to apply for are either the subclass 462 or 417. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months. The visa length is for 12 months and can be extended for an additional year (or two) by working in regional and remote areas of Australia.
Are there any conditions?
You are required to have travel insurance, no criminal record, and sufficient funds if you are not employed before leaving your country.

The working and living conditions in Australia are excellent. Many cities in Australia frequently make the top 10 places to live because of the balance between work and social life, environment, healthcare, economy, and general quality of life.

Australia’s minimum wage at around $21 p/h is in the top 3 countries in the world. If we were to work off $21 p/h for a weekday shift, working on Sundays is $30 p/h, and on public holidays around $50 p/h.
Is accommodation available with jobs?
