Working in Australia

Australia is a large island nation with opportunities in hospitality, tourism, healthcare, construction, education, agriculture, technology and skilled trades. Perth, on the west coast, offers a relaxed lifestyle, sunny weather, beaches, outdoor activities and a strong café and dining culture, although housing and transport costs can be significant. Australian workplaces are generally informal, multicultural and guided by workplace safety, minimum employment standards and award conditions. Depending on nationality, qualifications and age, newcomers may consider Working Holiday, employer-sponsored, student or skilled visas. Visa rules, work rights and eligibility change, so applications should be checked through the official Department of Home Affairs website. New arrivals typically need a tax file number, Australian bank account and suitable health insurance. Perth is geographically isolated from other major Australian cities, but has an international airport and excellent coastal living.
