Our Work & Travel Australia program helps
you find paid positions anywhere in Australia. We provide you with
the sponsorship necessary for the proper visa, along with the support,
guidance and flexibility to find just the job you are suited for.
Paid positions include: waiting tables,
clerical work, telemarketing, sales and service work, production
and transport work, seasonal work and call center work.
Prior to arrival we will help you prepare your resume and
cover letter for the Australian job market. Upon arrival you
will have a pre-arranged consultation with a recruitment consultant
who will go through your resume, discuss job opportunities,
give housing assistance and review positions currently available.
This saves you 2-3 weeks of time familiarizing yourself with
the local scene and job market.

What
you get:
Accommodations:
Your first two nights at a local youth hostel are included.
This is a great way to meet new people and settle in.
Salary:
Working a typical 40-hour week in Australia in an unskilled
position, you can expect to make around $500-$700 AUD per
week. This is based on earnings of approximately $15-$17 per
hour for a 40 hour work week, which is a gross wage before
taxes. Due to the high tax rate for people that come to Australia
on a 416 visa or Working Holiday Maker visa, the net wages
are closer to $400 - $500 AUD per week (approximately $368
- $460 USD). We cannot guarantee any specific wage, as with
all jobs, pay varies depending on the industry, the location,
your skills and the current demand for workers. The salary
relationship is entirely between you and the employer.
Orientation:
You will have an in-country orientation arranged for you upon
your arrival. During orientation you will be introduced to
Australia, be given advice about finding work and housing,
as well as meet new people. The location of your orientation
is within minutes of your hostel.
