    It has always been my understanding that you are not permitted to apply for permanent residency while in Australia on a Working Holiday visa ( i.e. you must leave the country to apply for residency ).
    Perhaps that rule has changed but it was the position years ago.
    I suggest you post a question to the Australia/New Zealand forum.

    Going from memory I also understood that children were not permitted enter Australia on a parents Working Holiday visa. My knowledge of Australian visa rules is old so I am happy to stand corrected but I cannot help feeling there is something ' unorthodox ' with the approach your prospective employer is suggesting. Proceed with caution.
