If you want to spend time working in Australia you will need a work visa, the type of visa you may get will depend on how long you want to stay. For tourism and hospitality workers, we find the most common types of visas are Working Holiday Maker visas, Temporary Skilled or Graduate work visas, and Student visas.
Planning your next adventure, why not consider a Working Holiday Maker (WHM) to Australia? A WHM allows you to stay longer, and work while you’re here! There’s no better way to be immersed and experience a culture than to become a part of it.
Regional Western Australia has a number of great working opportunities for backpackers and WHM, with a high demand for workers in the tourism and hospitality industry. Learn how to pour a pint overlooking some of the best beaches in the world, or develop your skills as an eco-tour guide in one of the most biologically diverse places in the world, surrounded by the history of one of the richest and oldest continuing cultures in the world.
