You're on a 417 visa, you've been picking mangoes in the Kimberley, shovelling dirt somewhere near Broken Hill, or doing whatever regional Australia threw at you and now you need to prove it was worth it. Welcome to WHV Tracker. The app that tells you exactly how many valid days you have, what counts, and how far you are from that second or third year. Finding jobs that count for your visa extension? Done. Calculating your regional days? Done. Checking if your payslips actually qualify? Done. No more texting five people asking "does this job count?" No more Excel sheets at 2am trying to figure out if you're on day 84 or 88. Here's what's inside: A job finder that shows you which industries and regions count toward your visa extension — so you don't waste months on work that doesn't qualify. Automatic day counter that adds up your valid days in real time. You just add your work periods and it does the maths. Payslip checker that reads your payslips and confirms whether your hours and employer tick the right boxes. Multi-employer tracker because let's be honest, you've probably had more than one job out here. Second year and third year support, because once you hit 88 days you're already thinking about 179.
