Your Working Holiday Visa destination is Australia. With your departure date fast approaching, you're still wondering how you'll finance your stay? Here are a few examples of jobs you might be able to find.

As you may already know from our article on Working Holiday Visa jobs , Australia offers a wealth of job opportunities in the hospitality and catering industry. This makes sense, as its thousands of kilometers of coastline mean there's no shortage of restaurants or beach bars where you can soak up the sun. Becoming a chef in a restaurant or a waiter on the beach is entirely possible!

But that's not all! One of the most popular paid activities for backpackers is fruit picking. It's an easy, quick, and effective way to boost your income.

Fruit picking, or harvesting , involves working in fields to gather fruits, vegetables, plants, and even flowers. The demand for labor is so high in Australia that it explains why the country so readily grants visas to Working Holiday Visa holders (there are no quotas, and over 200,000 young people choose Australia each year). Harvesting takes place throughout the year, depending on the seasonal fruits, vegetables, and plants.

The Harvest Trail guide also tells you about all the agricultural regions of Australia, the fruits and vegetables that are grown there, as well as the seasons of the different harvests.

Note that this type of job is located in remote areas, since it mainly involves working on farms.

By choosing this job, different contracts are possible depending on your employer:

• Often, when you commit to fruit picking, your employer offers you free accommodation and food in addition to your salary (often, accommodation and food are deducted from the salary).

• In some cases, you can also choose to work in a harvest field but not stay overnight. In this case, there is a shuttle service between the harvest site and your hostel that will allow you to return home after your shift.

It's up to you to make arrangements before signing your contract. Beware of scams, though!

We will provide you with more details about this type of job during an information session with one of our advisors.

A common trick among backpackers : volunteering . In exchange for free nights at a hostel, you work a few hours a day for the hostel, which leaves you time to work elsewhere and earn some extra money! Clever!

Finally, if you have a degree and wish to use it during your stay in Australia, that's also possible! Job searching is a bit more challenging, but we work closely with our partner, Job Assistance, which has offices in several Australian cities.  This job assistance service will help you find your dream job and allow you to have the best possible time on the other side of the world!
