Your working holiday Australia visa allows you to work anywhere in the country and pretty much do any type of job – from casual to career work.
Casual work
Australia has a high minimum wage (currently AUD $24.95 per hour) and backpacker-friendly culture, with employers used to taking on working holidaymakers. Typical backpacker jobs include working in hospitality, tourism, sales, construction, retail and harvest work such as fruit picking. Hospitality and harvest work often include subsidised staff accommodation – making them a great choice to save money, make friends and pick up short-term jobs as you travel.
Career work
You can also work in industries related to your career, education or trade – such as nursing, beauty, marketing, construction, finance, recruitment and more. Here your earning potential will be higher.
