From reading that page, it seems very onerous to apply.
Certificate of Good Conduct and all that.
VFS deals with the application (paperwork), not actually the Aust High Comm in KUL.


Thanks for the all the replies guys!!! really appreciate it!!!
@marka55 - I see, was just wondering if I could exploit my student Visa that's all XD
@travoyageur - I guess I have to try and hope for the best :D
@westwood - Well, it may not be a lottery, but with Malaysia's lousy internet and probably tens of thousands competing for the 100 places,I'm expecting the server to crash/overload during the application time, it might as well be a lottery to see whose lucky enough to be in the 100. XD
Also Malaysian what people call the citizen of Malaysia, Malay is the name of the language and race :D
@aussieguarddog43 - I'm not so much interested in studying abroad anymore, I just wanna backpack around Australia for a year or 2, meet new people and get out of my comfort zone. I especially wanna try working in the cattle/sheep station in the outback! So the work and holiday visa would be perfect but it's so tedious to apply and limited to only 100 people :( That's why I was wondering if I could exploit my Japanese student Visa to apply in the Japanese WHV program to go to Australia. I've read that you could apply overseas for WHV to go to Canada if you are a long term resident in that country of over 6 months or something like that, and wondered if I could do the same with my own long term Visa to exploit the system. I've also read that the Chinese often went to Malaysia to get a tourist Visa which allows them to go to many other countries that are usually not permitted by a Chinese passport etc etc. Looks like I'm outta luck and have to take a chance among the lucky 100 then.
Also, thanks for clearing things up about calling all Malaysian Malay by the way! I am Malaysian Chinese and am in no way a Malay.
Jink, one thing that the dog and yourself may want to understand about a multicultural Australia is that many of u are not so PC to differentiate on where somebodies ancestors may have hailed from.
For instance in Australia we have many people whose ancestors hailed from many countries and we also have those people who have indigenous Australian ancestors but it does not really matter which country ancestors or people themselves have come from nor what religion they follow or whether they follow no religion, for those that have been born here or have permanent residency/citizenship we are all Australians.
As for the people in Malaysia of different ethnicities/religions, Malay may be a reference to those with ancestral links to the indigenous people of Malay but for Aussies who like to keep life simple, you all can just be Malaysian or Malay for short, much as China may have people of different ancestries and though it might for many years be considered that there are Tibetans as well as other ethnicities in China, being Chinese will remain a generic term, just as there are Americans, Canadians, English, Germans and French etc.

When applying for a visa, Immigration only want to know your Nationality is Malaysian. Or does it say Malaysian Chinese in your passport?

I am Hokkien dialect so get the drift.
I was born in Malaysia but migrated long ago via family migration.
So not a Malay either but its hard to explain to some.
The rules are you have to go back to KUL but if you want to chance it loosing fee and get wrong visa, thats up to you.

JinK - why not just come for a holiday or two? How long is the holiday visa for? You'll easily be able to return with the cheap AirAsia flights. Perhaps do the maximum holidays in Australia + New Zealand, go home and save up and then come back another time.

There is a tv show here in Aust, and even if a person got a visa, successfully got a visa approved, and it turns out to be the inappropriate visa, the person is turned back at the "border".
Truthfully, its best to get the right visa to suit the purpose of your visit.
Its not worth playing the fool.
The Aust WHV charge/fee is quite expensive, Aud$440 or so, maybe has gone up, thats nearly Myr/RM1500 roughly or so.
Malaysians are also known for being one of the nationalities that overstay here in Aust, so on your entry, you might be given "extra" attention, if you get the WHV instead of the W&HV.
One year stay max.
I know you do say you don't want to study anymore, but if you do a 2 year course, linked to what you are doing in Japan, you can stay 2 or 2.5 or 3 years. Plus be able to work on farms or in the outback during the Dec long holidays.

OP obviously doesnt want to study any more. Do you know how much it costs to be an international student?
The visa for Japan has no bearing on your application for a WhV. You cannot use it to "exploit" any system.

@travoyageur - I know I've made a lot of grammar mistakes but don't misunderstand bro, We DO call ourselves Malaysians! but calling all Malaysians "Malay" for short is pretty offensive to the Chinese, Indians and dozens of other races within Malaysia as "Malay" =a single race/ethnic group and "Malaysian" = nationality. Also ALL or at least 95% of Malays in Malaysia are Muslim, so calling a Malaysian chinese/Malaysian indian a "Malay" is equal to labeling them a Muslim as well. (nothing against Muslims in Malaysia)
As you said,
"For instance in Australia we have many people whose ancestors hailed from many countries and we also have those people who have indigenous Australian ancestors but it does not really matter which country ancestors or people themselves have come from nor what religion they follow or whether they follow no religion, for those that have been born here or have permanent residency/citizenship we are all Australians."
What you said is 100% correct but "Australian" or "Aussie" is a nationality and NOT just a single ethnic group. So you can really just call any citizen/resident "Aussie" there (since I believe Aussie is slang for Australian and not just a single ethnic group). but it's not the case to call Malaysians "Malay"
So please at least respect the Malaysia's people enough to call them Malaysian or whatever nickname you prefer instead of shortening the name an call the entire population of Malaysia a single ethnic group.
@westwood - well Chinese is my ethnicity and not my nationality so it only says Malaysian in my passport. It does however say Chinese on my Malaysia ID. Yea, I'm sick of studying and schools in general. Just asking around and hoped I could get good news on increasing my chances to get the WHV. unfortunately I have to take my chances to be among the lucky 100 Malaysians Thanks so much for all the clarification mate!
@julie_l I'd love to go for holiday there, but going by the tourist Visa means I can't work in Australia\NZ. It's actually a lot easier to live in Australia working part time there. Compared to saving money working part time in Malaysia and go on holiday in Aussie/NZ, as the minimum wage for part time jobs in Malaysia is 3-5x lower than Aussie. I also want to work in cattle/sheep station in the outback and a tourist Visa just wont cut it! :(
@aussieguarddog43 - I see, I guess there's just too much risk involved. I'll have to apply the regular way and hope for the best. Thanks so much for the information! Malaysian tend to overstay huh? giving us a bad name and making my chances that much lower I see :(
Nah, I really don't want to study anymore. Education is way too expensive and a huge waste time. After going to/dropped out of many schools/colleges I've concluded that those types of educational institutes are just there to suck you money and teach you how to be an "employee". I on the other hand want to become an employer/entrepreneur. (regardless on whether I succeed or fail) Paying so much to learn a subject but spend almost half of the year on summer, winter and spring vacations, that's about 5 months a year of vacations!. About half the subjects you will have to study aren't even relevant to the field you are interested in. The only things worth considering probably would be the trade school or elite professionals like doctors and lawyers etc, but those field will require a looooong as time of training and you'll be the employee for a long period of time before you can rise up the ranks to become the employer.
I'm so very sorry for rambling on with my own naive opinion but I'm just sick of schools right now XD
AGAIN thanks for all the information!
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST! CHEERS EVERYONE!!!
