Frequently asked questions
Planning a Working Holiday in Australia? Here are the answers to some of the questions we get asked most often.
You can start year-round, but we recommend arriving between September and November. This is just before Australia's busy summer season, which can increase your chances of finding work in hospitality, tourism, and other seasonal industries.
Absolutely! Most travellers join solo, making it easy to meet new people and make friends from day one.
Yes! The package includes a job search seminar, guidance on creating an Australian-style CV, and access to the Work and Travel Jobs Program. You'll receive practical tips, useful resources, and ongoing support to help you find work during your time in Australia.
Yes, you'll need a valid Working Holiday Visa before travelling to Australia. The visa allows eligible travellers to live, work, and travel in Australia for up to one year. We recommend applying for your visa well in advance of your departure date to allow plenty of time for processing. If you're unsure about your eligibility or how to apply, our travel specialists will be happy to point you in the right direction and provide guidance before you book.
After your first week in Sydney, your Working Holiday adventure is yours to shape. Whether you want to find a job, travel the East Coast, or explore more of Australia, we'll make sure you have the knowledge and support to get started. Our travel specialists are also available to help you plan and book the next part of your journey.
No. A Working Holiday visa allows you to stay in Australia for up to one year, but you're free to travel at your own pace.
