The Working Holiday visa is great because it allows participants to work legally in Australia. While ELI Abroad does not offer paid internships in Australia, you are free to pursue paying work outside of your internship.
Unfortunately, visas can be very difficult for many nationals. We have no control over this, and can do little to help you besides referring you to the official Australian government website.
