Tourism Australia has signed a new global partnership with youth travel specialist STA Travel worth £6 million over three years.
The tourism authority said the youth segment continues to be "hugely important" for Australia, with the UK market "particularly important".
In the 12 months to June, 46,131 Working Holiday Visas were granted in the UK, an increase of 10% over the previous year.
"This was off the back of the highly successful Best Jobs in the World campaign that we ran with STA to promote the Working Holiday Visa," said a Tourism Australia spokesperson. "We’re now looking to build on this success."
