Working holiday in Australia? Start here
What’s in the video
Just landed in Australia on a working holiday, and no idea what to sort first? You're in the right spot.
G'day, I'm Drew. Backpack Aus is a free site for working holiday makers.
Each video is a minute or two, on one thing worth knowing. Your first week. Finding work, and the 88 days a lot of you need for a second visa. Money and tax. Getting around, and staying safe.
Plain info, no hype. For visas and tax, I'll point you to the official sites for the final word.
The site's got a free trip planner. Tell it how long you've got, where you're starting, and if you need your 88 days. It builds your route stop by stop: where to stay, where to find work, and how to get between them. There's a live map too, where backpackers post shifts, rides, rooms and meetups, and sell cars and gear.
Both are free at backpackaus.com.au. New video every week.
