JOB PROSPECTS
On the IENA Work & Travel Australia Program, you can take any job you are qualified to do, but can only work for the same employer for six months maximum. You cannot be self-employed but other than that the sky’s the limit! Work and Holiday Visa holders can take casual incidental work to supplement their income while exploring this amazing country. If you would prefer to stay in one location, that is okay too! It’s your choice! We have hundreds of live job listings which are no more than 3 weeks old.
If you plan to use the program to travel around the country to gain a true cultural experience, you would be better off staying in hostels. If you plan to stay in one location, then renting a shared flat (apartment) would be more cost effective.
Costs in Australia
Shared accommodation will cost approximately AU$130-AU$190 per week and you will generally need to pay a bond of 2 weeks rent plus the first 2 weeks rent in advance. On average your weekly expenses will be about AU$245 per week.
