Your hourly rate will vary dependent on the type of work that you do and your age. All work is paid at minimum award rates and most jobs will pay $24.10 AUD per hour or higher.

It is possible to find work with friends doing agricultural work however most employers will look at experience and hire on that basis.

Wait! From experience we find many people change their travel plans after they arrive in Australia. You may meet someone you want to travel with or head to a destination you had never heard of before! The use of AIFS Travel is included in your package, and our desk will have access to discounted deals and know the best options for your budget and plans. 

Your budget will depend on your plans. Some travellers only travel for a few months and others for most of their time in Australia. The average travel length is 6-12 weeks. Remember, as you will be working in the first 3 months of arrival, you will earn money that will help finance your travels. 

If you work in Australia, you will be required to complete a tax return. In some cases, Working Holiday makers may be eligible for a tax refund. We can give you information about this when you are preparing to do your return.
