Working Travel and Arrival Packages are the perfect way to make friends as soon as you arrive in Australia! Many people who travel arrive solo, but by the end of the first week, you'll have a whole group of new friends to stay in touch with for the rest of your trip. You'll have loads of fun and get to know each other during your first few days together.

And when your arrival package comes to an end, the crew is there to provide resources and help you find accommodation or plan your travels around Australia with your new mates. 

Once you've booked your Work and Travel Arrival Package, the Operator will send you a confirmation email filled with exciting details about your upcoming trip to Australia. As your departure date gets closer, they'll touch base again with all the info you need to make your journey smooth and stress-free. Just let them know your flight number, and they'll handle the rest. Get ready to explore the beautiful Land Down Under and make unforgettable memories!

Working Travel and Arrival packages include 12-Month job support to help you get started in your new adventure. During your first week, the crew will provide you with valuable information on finding work in Australia, including tips on where to look, how to apply, and what you can expect to earn. They'll also give you access to the Travellers At Work job database, so you can start applying for jobs right away. And if you need any additional guidance, just swing by for a one-on-one session with one of the in-house work and travel experts. They can review your CV and help you tailor your application to suit Australian employers. Get ready to start your new career Down Under!

As a working holidaymaker in Australia, you may be eligible to receive a tax refund. The Operator's tax refund experts will help you with everything, so you'll get the maximum refund possible. When you leave Australia, they can also help you claim your superannuation refund too.

As a holder of a Working Holiday Visa, you have the freedom to live wherever you'd like in Australia. Whether you're interested in Cairns, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane, the Working Holiday and Arrival Package can help you get settled in your new home. The package includes your first three nights' accommodation, and during this time, the crew introduce you to the online platforms commonly used to find more permanent housing in Australia. Get ready to explore all that the Land Down Under has to offer!

To obtain a 2nd-year visa extension, you must complete three months (or 88 days) of work in a regional part of Australia. The crew can assist you in your 2nd-year visa job search, and lots of 2nd-year visa jobs are available on www.taw.com.au.

Medicare is Australia’s governmental public health policy. If you are on a Working Holiday Visa, you may be eligible to be covered by Medicare for the duration of your stay in Australia. Medicare is an add-on, not a replacement for any other insurance you may have, so you still need to have valid travel insurance!

Citizens of the UK, Sweden, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland and New Zealand are covered for the duration of their approved visa time in Australia. Medicare covers citizens of Malta and Italy for a period of 6 months from their date of arrival in Australia. All other countries, unfortunately, are not eligible for Medicare support, but as long as you have travel insurance, you’ll be covered!

The local currency in Australia is the Australian Dollar (AUD). It's important to have access to enough funds to support yourself during the initial stage of your holiday in Australia, and you may be asked to provide evidence of this upon arrival. If you're planning a gap year, it's recommended you arrive in Australia with at least AUD5,000. The amount you'll need will depend on your travel plans and length of stay in Australia. As part of the Working and Travel package, you'll have the opportunity to open an Australian bank account before you arrive. The Operator will send you a link and all the necessary details about four weeks before your arrival package is set to begin.
