USIT’S AUSTRALIAN WORKING HOLIDAY VISA PACKAGES
WHY DO AN AUSTRALIA WORKING HOLIDAY?
Life Goals
Reasons to think about moving to Australia from Ireland. Well, there’s the sun. And the iconic cities. And the AUD $20 an hour minimum wage. And the shared cultural interests (pubs, rugby, singing in the pub, singing after the rugby). And then there’s the sun again. Let’s face it, if anywhere in the world was a walking advertisement for why humans need vitamin D in their life, it’s Australia.
Work Goals
The liveable cities, high minimum wage and backpacker-friendly job culture makes travelling to Australia from Ireland to work a rite of passage before your mid 30s. Whether you focus on career-related roles in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth; or pick up casual backpacker work in bars and restaurants as you travel, our working holiday packages make applying for your visa and finding a job simple.
