Product Details

So you want to go on a working holiday to Australia but aren’t sure where to start? Australia is a fabulous country in which to spend a working holiday but many people are nervous at the prospect of travelling alone.

BUNAC’s Work Australia programme is a specially designed package designed to ensure that you get the most out of this working holiday of a lifetime.

Work Australia includes:
  • Working Holiday Visa
  • 18 month round the world ticket
  • Pre-departure presentation
  • Unique Work Australia handbook
  • Group travel and pre-departure group contact details
  • Organised stopover in either Hong Kong or Bangkok including tours and accommodations
  • Airport pickup
  • Arrival orientation
  • Practical job training/sightseeing packages on arrival
  • Resource office
  • Pre-arranged Australian bank account
  • Social events
  • Ongoing support throughout trip

Work Australia offers much more than simply a Working Holiday Visa and, unlike independent travel, includes a range of benefits and services. The Sydney and Melbourne walk-in resource centres of BUNAC’s partner organisation are a good place to job-search and make new friends. Travelling on a BUNAC group flight, which includes an organised stopover in the Far East on the outward leg, is another way of meeting fellow participants.

Training and activity options will also help prepare you to get the most out of your Work Australia experience. The ‘Skills and Thrills’ package combines hands-on, CV-enhancing hospitality courses in addition to Sydney sightseeing excursions, providing you with an introduction to the country plus practical work experience. Other options include a Hunter Valley wine-tasting tour, and a training course in outback riding and other aspects of working on a ranch.

The Work Australia programme also offers you the opportunity to make the most of your round-the-world ticket by adding on a Work New Zealand extension.

BUNAC is a not-for-profit student organisation which has organised work abroad programmes for over 42 years.

Our users say...

"I had never been to Australia before and after graduating immediately signed up to Work Australia. I went out on a BUNAC group flight with a stop-over in Bangkok, so by the time I arrived in Sydney I was already good friends with the people on my flight and I ended up living with two of them. BUNAC helped me set up a bank account, fill out tax forms and find a job and accommodation.

I worked in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for about three months each. In each city I signed up with a few employment agencies and they found me long term work very quickly. I was able to save money for my travels pretty quickly and everyone was really friendly.

While I was in Australia I swam with whale sharks, cuddled a koala and snorkelled in the Great Barrier Reef. I flew home using the BUNAC travel package, stopping off for 5 weeks in New Zealand going skydiving, glacier hiking, canyoning and black water rafting. I also stopped off in Hawaii and LA, where I flew down to Mexico City taking in a tour to Cancun."
