Programme Details
On this Australia gap year programme we have work for horse riders, motorbike riders, tractor drivers, carpenters, joiners, builders, anyone who has lived on a farm, agricultural students and veterinary students – as long as you are willing to get their hands dirty and a good attitude, you will have the experience of a lifetime!
From grape picking to cattle mustering enjoy a real big outdoors experience with space on a scale that’s hard to comprehend. Accommodation, food and good wages included (upon successful completion of the course).
Please note: If you do not pass the training course, we cannot guarantee you a job placement due to health and safety reasons. Passing the course has a lot to do with a positive attitude rather than level of skill and the success rate is extremely high. Positions during the Australian summer months (December and January) can be limited due to the heat and stress on the stock at ranches. People seeking work at this time may be offered employment with horses, not just ranch work.
If you are a vegetarian, or if you want to be placed with a friend/partner, it will take longer to find you a job.
