No, you do not need a University degree to work in Australia.

The working holiday visa lasts one year.

Not at all! While the visa is valid for a year, you are under no obligation to stay in the country for the entire term.

Our Australia Work Abroad Traveller package is perfect for people who want to secure a job before they board a plane. Currently, we are able to offer this service to people interested in the following fields: hospitality, customer service, labour/construction and gardening/landscaping.

Australia Work Abroad Basic and Work Abroad Plus employers will want to meet with you face-to-face while you are in the country. Moving overseas without a firm employment offer may seem daunting, but the reality is that thousands of young people participate in working holiday programs around the world each year, and companies build in positions to attract this audience.

Our Australia work abroad job teams around the world will do everything possible to help you find a job. If you are willing to put in the effort to set up interviews and are flexible with the type of work you’re willing to do, you’ll be working in no time.

Each program includes either five or seven nights accommodation in a centrally located hostel. Following this, our in-country teams will assist you with securing longer term accommodation.

Our job teams will work with you to obtain a tax consultation before you return home. The vast majority of people end up with a sizable tax refund - a nice way to do some travelling on your way back home!
