Description: Don't consider working in Australia on a visitors visa - you don't want to be caught out!

Our Australia programme is your ideal solution. We meet you at the airport, include a chill out beach time plus assistance to obtain your correct working visa. We then include a four day introduction course - either for work in the hospitality trade or even on an outback station. Once you have completed your course we will then provide you with a GUARANTEED job!

We also can offer baggage storage while you travel around as well as emergency back up for you while you are in country.

* Beach Based Jet Lag Recovery and Visa Processing

On arrival at Brisbane airport we will collect you and take you to your beach based hostel. We typically request a Wednesday/Thursday arrival date to enable visa processing. This will need to be undertaken in person, but we will provide you full advice before you fly, as well as experienced assistance on the ground.

Plus chilling out beside the pool or on the beach is the ideal way to relax into the Australia life style, while making new friends.

* Training Course - Hospitality or Outback Station

After 3-4 days we head down to our training center. Here you will decide which area to specialise in. Your 4 day course will teach you the basic requirements that any employer will be looking for.

So select the Outback course and you may be riding horses or motorbikes to learn to round-up the cattle or sheep. Everything from fencing, chainsaw and animal skills are taught - a time too muck in and learn to be a Jackeroo!

On the Hospitality course, you will learn the basic for working in and Australian bar and restaurant. To further improve your skills we include two practice training sessions in a working hotel, bar or even a classic Australian road-house!

* Guaranteed Job for Three Months

Once you have completed your training course then we will offer you a guaranteed paid job placement. It is then up to you to use your skills to learn and work within this working environment.

Therefore you have the ideal opportunity to live the Australian life style while also earning. Plus our central position on the Gold Coast is the ideal location to explore Australia from, all the time with the knowledge of the emergency back up we provide you at all times.
