Working Holiday Visa for an Australian

Hi Guys,
I have a feeling this kind of thing would already have been answered on here somewhere but I'm not on a good connection so I don't have time to trawl the archives -
I am an Australian age 22 wanting a working holiday visa for South Korea but can't find much info on it that isn't in Korean!
Does anyone know how I go about getting one - can I get one from within South Korea? I arrive tomorrow and will just be getting a tourist visa at the airport. Or can I just tick a different box and get it at the airport?
Also I know it doesn't allow you to teach english but does that include informal tutoring? Does it exclude any other professions? I am mainly looking to volunteer with some aid organisations in Seoul.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If its like other countries which offer whv's, you need to be out of the country to apply, you dont just tick a box on arrival and hey presto, a WHV. . I think you've left it a bit late to be thinking obout it.

Hi

If you want to teach in Korea you need to get a year contract unless you have special Korean status (ex pat Korean)
Otherwise if you come over and teach it will be illegal ( you also need a degree and police check)
I have just heard of an exception for the first time where some UK student was teaching on an exchange program (but she didn't get paid) People who teach illegally would use worknplay or monster english websites to find part time jobs but obviously this is risky..
As for volunteering maybe best speaking to your Uni but I guess similar checks will be needed if you are to work with children. Try going into a church to ask for volunteering they often have projects running and will probably be able to help (they normally speak good English and bigger churches have volunteering projects. Try asking about volunteering by posting on waygook.org website too there are many experts there.
