About

A Working Holiday should be nothing short of fun, exciting and the adventure of a lifetime. Stressful? Hard? We don’t believe in that. That’s why we have designed our Working Holiday trips to help you secure a local full-time job in a great location, often with some amazing perks, right from the get-go and before you land.

Your Role
Land an entry to mid-level job in Australia which will be fun and social, so you can make friends, learn new skills and have the freedom to explore down under! Located all across the country, here’s a list of the industries most of our Australian Partner Organisations are in, and where you can expect to find yourself being matched with too! 
  • Hospitality, like bars, cafés & restaurants 
  • Tourism, such as theme parks & tours Island 
  • Resorts & Hotels 
  • Ski Resorts (Not a typo!) 
  • Australian Outback 
  • Second Year Visa roles 
  • Labour & Construction 
  • Sales & Promotions
The Location
Dubbed one of the most liveable countries in the world, thanks to beautiful cities like Melbourne and Sydney and countless laid back coastal towns, Australia is so easy to fall in love with. Being one of the largest countries in size, it’s a diverse country indeed, offering golden sand beaches, crystal clear oceans, lush rainforests, rocky deserts, and bustling cityscapes with so much opportunity. Speaking of cities, some great musicians hail from Melbourne - a vibrant city oozing with culture where you can find unique clothing, jam out every night to live music, and drive down to the Great Ocean Road when you need to escape. Its bigger sister Sydney has gorgeous weather all year round and awesome beaches, like Bondi and Manly, right on its doorstep.
From coastal towns to rural landscapes and bustling cities, a working holiday in Australia offers a wide selection of iconic locations. We’ve got connections to host companies dotted all over the country, so you could find yourself working in any of these Australian destinations! 
  • Sydney 
  • Melbourne 
  • Brisbane 
  • Gold Coast 
  • Perth 
  • Fraser Island 
  • Townsville 
  • Port Douglas 
  • The Outback 
  • Whitsunday Islands
How it works
On the human side of things, you will be assigned a dedicated Trip Coordinator. They will guide you through the next steps and answer all your questions, even those ‘better be safe than sorry’ questions the ‘rents might have. They’ll also help you with pesky visas. No guesswork – only the right paperwork in your hands, before you leave. These applications are often a one-shot deal, so not something you want to screw up. 
Your Personal Travel Concierge will help with flights, insurance, and any add-ons you’d like for your trip. These are real humans too – no robots here. And of course, your guaranteed job match, that almost always happens before your arrival. This means you can jump on the plane feeling confident and excited, rather than nervous and worried about how long that travel budget will last (like most people winging it are doing right now!)
First Three Days 
Once you arrive to Australia, there will be a private driver waiting to take you to your city-centre accommodation. This means no getting ripped off by taxi drivers or desperately trying to hook on to that airport WIFI to figure out where you’re going or cramming into public transport underneath someone’s smelly armpit. 
Your included accommodation is 3 nights at one of the best hostels in the heart of Melbourne or Surfers Paradise. You’ll meet other Global Travellers while you relax and settle in, then shake off the jet lag with a night out on the town. During these first few days you’ll be heading out on some awesome tours, bound to make all your friends and family back home jealous.
  • Melbourne arrivals: First up - a Skydeck pass where you'll head up to the Southern Hemisphere's highest observation deck for epic views of the city and surrounding coastline. Next, you'll be heading out on the city's #1 bar crawl to experience Melbourne's incredible nightlife.
  • Gold Coast arrivals: Start your Aussie adventure off right by going to one best wildlife sanctuaries around. Here you can see crocodiles, feed kangaroos, even cuddle a koala! Next up, a heart-pounding jet boat ride throughout the spectacular waterways of the Gold Coast. While you're not holding on for dear life, you might get lucky and spot some local dolphins frolicking in the water and kangaroos sunbathing on the beach!
And for the boring (but also very important!) side of things, we’ll also help with all your local life essentials, including:
  • Australian mobile number with data, unlimited Australia talk & text and an international calling credit to phone home. So you can stay in touch with your new friends and employers, get an Uber late at night, or send messages back home. 
  • Australian bank account. Exchange rates? Withdrawal fees? Forget about it. With a local bank account you’ll earn - and spend - in the local currency. Saving you money and hassle in the process. 
  • Tax file number. This can be a long, tedious process. It’s best to listen to the Global team for tips and tricks on how to get this done as easily as possible. Yet another reason why having our local Global team on your side saves you time and stress.

Dagelijkse activiteiten

The beauty of this trip is that you have the freedom to create your own adventure and you can do it however you please. But, for a rough idea, this is how most travellers spend their first few days:

Day 1 - Once you’ve touched down at the airport in Brisbane or Melbourne, a private driver will be waiting for you outside. They’ll take you into Surfers Paradise or Melbourne city to your initial accommodation at a top-rated hostel where we’ll cover the first 3 nights for you. Relax, make some new friends and settle in!
Day 2 - Time for your 'Welcome to Australia' orientation! You'll learn valuable information about your trip, important local resources, and can access this anytime throughout your entire trip! You will also be hooked up with the following: Australian bank account, Tax File Number, Local SIM card loaded with data, unlimited talk & text in Australia, and some international call credit so you can phone home.
Day 3 - Today’s the day you get the proper Australian welcome experience. 
Melbourne arrivals: Soak in breathtaking views of the city and surrounding coastline from the highest observation deck in the Southern Hemisphere, 300m up! Next, you'll be joining the city’s top bar crawl and party with up to 100 people. Enjoy VIP entry, free shots, and four of the hottest bars around. 
Gold Coast arrivals: Get set for a proper Aussie welcome. You’ll head off to an Australian wildlife sanctuary where you can hang out with koalas, kangaroos, and all the other weird and wonderful animals found only in Australia. And to shake that jet lag once and for all and really get the adrenaline pumping, you'll head out on a thrilling jet boat ride throughout the world-famous Gold Coast waterways.
Day 4+ - After you’ve had your 3 nights stay on the Gold Coast, it’s generally time to move on to where your new workplace is. If permanent accommodation isn’t provided with your job opportunity, our team can help you find the perfect home. Transport arrangements to your new location can be organised with the help of our local team too.
Ongoing - Our team will always keep in touch with you throughout your stay. If at any point during your trip you need advice or support, our Australian team will be on hand to answer all your questions. Stay connected with Social, where you can reach out to your Community Manager, stay updated with events happening in the country and chat with Global Travellers near you.

While the jobs we help you land usually provide full-time hours, they often come with flexibility that will allow you to take time off for side trips, exploring, and fun. We understand the importance of travel experiences, and our aim is to provide opportunities that balance work and leisure.
