Employment in Australia For Working Holiday Makers
When you are granted a working holiday visa, condition 8108 will be imposed on your visa. This means you cannot work for the same employer for more than 6 months in Australia. There are no other restrictions on the type of work you do, provided it is of a temporary or casual nature.
The main purpose of your visit should be to holiday and travel. Any work should be incidental to supplement your funds so that you can continue travelling.
There are several ways to find a casual or part-time job. Word of mouth from other backpackers or advertisements at your hostel are usually a good way to start. Daily papers also advertise employment opportunities, particularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and weekly local papers also contain jobs in the nearby area.
However, the most popular method of seeking work is through online job sites, some of which are listed below.
