    There's no need to have a return ticket. For the exact reason you've said, you simply don't know.
    I came on a 1 way, and was on my third visa before I bought a return flight.

    Why not buy a return ticket? If you intend returning at any point (within the allowable maximum stay) it would work out cheaper. One way tickets demand a premium, as do return tickets from Australia. Much cheaper to fly to Australia, than from Australia.

    Thanks for the replies. I plan on going in january and getting the regional work done so i can get the second year visa. I think i will purchase the one way ticket. I will have the +5k aud in an account anyway.

    Generally you cant buy tickets/flights more than 11 months in advance so you may not be able to able to have a return flight booked.

    Yeah, one would probably need to book a date and then change. Change fees about 150 with Etihad at least. Probably not worthwhile unless you have a return date in mind.
