Description

Are you looking for a full time working holiday in Australia? Traveling with some work along the way? Or perhaps something between the two? Then look no further, we believe our Ultimate Aussie package is just what you're looking for!

First off, we'll get you settled into Oz with a whole bunch of like-minded, young travelers so you can kick off your trip having fun and partying in Sydney. Our introductory package includes 5 nights at Bondi Beachouse YHA, the ultimate place to feel the Aussie vibes. Once we've sorted out your social circle, we'll then get you sorted out with finding work. You'll get an orientation to explain all you need to know about employment, traveling in country and most importantly, having a good time!

Program Details

Once you have arrived into Sydney and settled into your accommodation which will be your base for the first 5 nights, you will receive an orientation from the recruitment agency that will cover useful information about jobs, tax refunds and traveling around Oz. The agency is one of the most successful recruitment agencies in Sydney allowing you access to a wide variety of jobs for a whole 12 months! The team at the agency will endeavor to help you find a job. There are lots of different jobs available to those on a working holiday visa in Australia although you can only be employed in casual employment during your stay. The team will try to match you to a job which suits you and your skills, from those available. Most people get jobs in the following work places; hospitality, call centers, office temping, factory/warehouses, laboring and fruit picking.

Important note: As with any recruitment agency, it will be your responsibility to stay in regular contact with the agency in Sydney regarding job opportunities, the more interest you show, the more the team will know you are keen to get a job! Jobs can be one-off positions for a couple of days or for longer periods of time. The more flexible you can be, the more work will be available to you.

Rates of pay

As a general rule, the casual jobs available ranges from USD 13 - USD 18 per hour. Skilled temping positions pay more – around USD 20-30 per hour.
