If its the latter, then I can't find any max upper limit on the Australian Govs website. What is important is that Arborists are on the AusGovs skilled occupation list, which means that if you have either the quals, skills or experience and you are sponsered by an employer then you are likely to be granted a work visa subject to certain other criteria. IE: not be suffering from any ongoing illnesses or diseases, having a criminal record for interfferring with wombats or any other illegal activity.

Basically, you have to have a sponsor, an actual job to go to filling a skills shortage and your not going to be a drain on the their resources, then you should be ok.

If you are between 18-30 then your other alternative is to apply for a 12 month young persons working holiday visa. You don't have to have a sponsor or any work set up in advance, and your free to work where ever you can get it.

Hope this helps. Of course you would have to do a bit more in depth research, this is just bare bones as far as I can make out.

Then you can travel to Aus in one year after you have been granted the visa so you could get the visa while you are 30 and still travel over once you are 31 as long as it is within a year of you being granted your visa if that makes sense.
