Can a South African with a British ancestral visa work in Australia on this visa?

Question

I want to work in australia but dont have an Australian passport and was wondering if my British Ancestral would help??

Answer 1

If you're a visitor to Australia you need an endorsement on your visa that allows you to work here.  You should get that before you come here.  You have to be a citizen or permanent resident to get a passport.  No idea what you mean by British Ancestral but if you mean you have british ancestors, you still need a work visa or they'll whip your *** if you get caught!
