Hi everyone !!!
Is anyone familair with the rules for UK citizens regaring something
called
defacto?? Basically, my girlfriend is from Australia, and I'm interested
in
spending some time out there working, without the tight constraints that
are
associated with a working travel visa. She mentioned something along these
lines if we were living together for over a year I would qualify for this
status which would allow me to find good employment out there. Does anyone
know anything about this ? Any help would be much appreciated !

Defacto marriage - as if married, cohabiting, shacked up
commitmentally challenged ;-)

No allowance that I know of, _which isn't saying much_.

There isn't much restiriction on 1 year working holiday Visa for 18-30 yo
apart from 3 months max per employer (???).

No Ambassador but a High Commissioner because it is Commonwealth.
