Job description
Life's a beach when you have salt in your hair and dollars in your pocket. Swap work suits for wetsuits and boardrooms for board shorts with a job Down Under.
JENZA Work Australia includes the working holiday visa, job access, arrival week and all the nerdy tax stuff you need to work in Australia for up to a year. (Or three if you’re from the UK). Home to barefoot beaches, boho surf towns and cool cities... Australia defines the work/life/travel balance. And for 18-30 somethings, can be a rite of passage if you’re looking to fund your gap year abroad or take a quarter-life work sabbatical.
The job bit
An Australia working holiday visas allow you to work anywhere in the country and in most sectors, giving you the flexibility to find career or casual work. If you want the security of having a job lined up, you can reach out and video interview for jobs on our Job Hub before you go – or apply when you land. Typical jobs include working in hospitality and construction. In your Sydney or Melbourne group arrival week, there’s also an in-person job workshop and help sorting all the work essentials – like your IRD tax number and Aussie bank account. If you're looking for seasonal work to earn money in-between travelling, then fruitpicking jobs are the way to go. They often include cheap staff housing, so are a great way to meet other travellers and work outdoors.
The money bit
Australia has a high minimum wage – currently AUD $24.10/hour. For positions related to your trade, profession or training, such as working in marketing, fitness, beauty, plumbing and everything between – you can expect to earn the equivalent or higher than you do in the UK.
The visa bit
To work in Australia, you’ll need to be eligible for an Australia working holiday visa. This allows 18-30 or 35 year olds (depending on your nationality) to work for 12 months with the option to extend your visa by two or three years (depending on your nationality). Like the football game Aussie Rules (18 people on a pitch is seven too many in our eyes), the visa rules can be a bit of a headache. Which is why our JENZA Support Squad will check your eligibility and process your visa for you.
