Australia - Ultimate Aussie and Fun Down Under

Trip code: OZUF

First off, we’ll get you settled into Oz with a whole bunch of like-minded, young travelers so you can kick off your trip having fun and partying in Sydney. Once we’ve sorted out your social circle, we’ll then get you sorted out with finding work. You’ll get an introductory 7 night package in Sydney, offering an orientation to explain all you need to know about employment, travelling in country and most importantly we created an itinerary to ensure you have a good time!!

After your initial 7 days, you’re on your own – but certainly not alone……..for up to 12 months, you’ll have the freedom to work, travel and have fun at your own pace, with the support of Real Gap or our Aussie partners in finding work and living life the Aussie way!

Working

The work side of things

Once you’ve arrived into Sydney, settled in and got to know a load of new travel buddies, we’ll give you an orientation from our recommended recruitment agency. They will cover useful information about jobs and traveling around Oz. The agency is one of the most successful recruitment agencies in Sydney and will provide immediate access to a huge variety of jobs!!

There are stacks of opportunities available to those on a working holiday visa, although you can only be employed in casual work. The agency will try its very best to match you to a job which suits you and your skills, and this could be anything from fruit picking to laboring to being a temp in an office based environment.

Important note! As with any recruitment agency, it will be your responsibility to stay in regular contact with the agency in Sydney regarding job opportunities; the more interest you show, the more they will know you are keen to get a job! Jobs can be one-off positions for a couple of days or for longer periods of time. The more flexible you can be, the more work will be available to you.

Please see the Itinerary tab for the fun seven day itinerary.
