This is the Temporary Work Visa Australia. Working in Australia without a work permit is illegal and will get you arrested and deported. If you wish to work in Australia then you can apply for a temporary work visa which is a skills visa. This allows you to work in Australia for an Australian registered business for a maximum period of 4 years. This is why it is called a temporary work visa.
