Working Holiday Job Search

We advise on suitable internships, work experience and jobs for students and Working Holiday Makers.

To receive hints on your Australia trip, you should answer us the following questions:

• How advanced is my English? Can I communicate to employers in English?
• Do I plan to study in Australia to receive an international rewarded qualification?
• In which month do I start my journey?
• For how long do I plan to stay in Australia?
• Do I hold a tourist visa or working holiday visa?
• Would I prefer to work as a travel diary writer?
• Which areas of Australia I am most interested in?

Australia has finalized agreements for a working holiday maker visa with the Italian and French governments.

The visas will come into effect from 1/1/04. This means that from that date Italian and French citizens between the age of 18-30 will be able to come to Australia for a maximum of 12 months to work, travel and study. Australia now has reciprocal agreements with 17 countries. The Working Holiday Visa is a reciprocal agreement between Australia and those countries to promote the cultural exchange for young people.

The Australian government is also in negotiation with many other countries; so more agreements will certainly come into effect in the very near future. Next will most likely be Belgium and hopefully Austria. Both countries have reached tentative agreements with Australia so it's just a matter of both parliaments ratifying the agreement.
