Sydney. Melbourne. The Gold Coast. Just a few dreamy locations that should be on every traveller’s list.
Get ready for an island paradise chock full of sun, sand, surf, iconic wildlife & fun laid back people. From Outback stars & the Great Barrier Reef, to tropical rainforests & golden beaches – and the only way to truly experience it all is by going on a working holiday.
But venturing into the unknown can be a daunting, lonely and costly endeavour, even for the most seasoned traveller. And although you technically could give it a go on your own, it will often lead to a lot more headache, anxiety, cost & even failure.
Luckily, we’ve been working on the solution since 2008 that over 100,000 others before you have chosen, as the world’s leaders in working holidays. What if you could instead:
- With our Money-Back Guarantee in place, receive an Australian Job Match before you even arrive* – year-round & all-done virtually from home (with no job fairs to travel to & compete at, unlike our competitors).
- Land a job almost anywhere, from tropical resorts to outback pubs, with the largest network of partner companies loaded with perks like staff accommodation, tours + more.
- Meet others before you go through our exclusive app. Join Global Traveller side-trips & meet-up events too.
- Save time, money, and stress with your own dedicated Trip Coordinator.
- Get help with flights, travel insurance, accommodation, visa applications & more.
Don’t spend 4+ weeks job hunting in a foreign country alone with no income. Travel smart, prepared and hassle-free.
Most travellers book 6-12 months ahead, dates are flexible, but spaces are strictly limited, so start planning today!

Trip location
Dubbed one of the most liveable countries in the world, thanks to beautiful cities like Melbourne and Sydney and countless laid back coastal towns, Australia is so easy to fall in love with. Being one of the largest countries in size, it’s a diverse country indeed, offering golden sand beaches, crystal clear oceans, lush rainforests, rocky deserts, and bustling cityscapes with so much opportunity.
Speaking of cities, some great musicians hail from Melbourne – a vibrant city oozing with culture where you can find unique clothing, jam out every night to live music, and drive down to the Great Ocean Road when you need to escape. Its bigger sister Sydney has gorgeous weather all year round and awesome beaches, like Bondi and Manly, right on its doorstep.
