Why work in Australia?

Australia is a beautiful (and huge!) country, with so many diverse places to explore and plenty of things to see and do. After all, it covers a total area of 7.69 million square kilometres!

What’s more, there are many jobs in Australia that are completely unheard of in the UK. Live the Aussie lifestyle and be a surf instructor, be a deckhand on a yacht or a jackaroo on an outback property. How about a years’ fruit picking or harvesting?

Australia Working Holiday Visa

In order to be able to work and travel in Australian you’ll need to obtain an Australia Working Holiday Visa. This visa provides a young person with a 12 months stay in Australia and enables them to have incidental employment to the supplement their stay.
