Work in Austrilia..

SO, like many I want to come visit Australia!! The Downunder!
I have several questions! And I'm hoping some of y'all can help me! (by the way I'm new here and this is my first post!)

My goal is to be in Australia in less than a year on a Holiday Visa. While I am there I actually want to WORK the full year! I want to work around horses and cattle. My main goal is to learn different horse training techniques. I am very interested in the Australian lifestyle and the beauty of the country and I can't wait to experience it!!

And the questions began...

1) I found this place online, Real Gap. They claim that they will train your for about a week and help you find jobs according to your skills. I am very interested in this..Unfortunately its about $2,000! yikes! (there is benefits included in that) My questions is...Would I have to go through a place like that to find a job? Or are ranch jobs easy to come by?

2)What part of Australia has horses, cattle and ranches? Is it all over or just NSW? I'm trying to decide on a location.

3)What is the weather like? compared to Florida USA if possible. What kind of clothing would I need to have?

4) Are the bugs really as bad as everybody makes them seem? I'm not scared of bugs but I'm also not a big fan.

5) I would like to find people from Australia to communicate with, kind of like a pen pal, How can I find something like this?

I will leave it at 5 questions for now. I greatly appreciate all answers! Thank you for you time!

Happy Trails,
Meganxx

I would not bother with them. Just scamming you for money.

For jobs on farms in Oz, you should do an online search as farms, especially cropping farms, look for workers from time to time

We have the worlds most venomous snakes and plenty of other bugs too.

Climate varies from state to state.

There are cattle farms all over australia.聽

If you are serious about then get the working holiday visa. Spend some time online searching for palces to work.

I'm not looking for a cropping job. I really want to be around horses and cattle. Do you have a recommendation on what part I should look in? I've been looking online and there is tons of jobs for crop picking.

I'm not too scared of snakes. If you leave them alone, they should leave you alone.

Thank you!!

To be honest you will not get a work in Australia without qualifications.

For a visa go to this website for all the information on types of visas etc.

the best thing you can do is to visit the Australian immigration website there you will have all the information or contract an immigration agent services.
Don't give your money for those who promise job bla, bla.bla because the immigration law in Australia is very tough!
If you come on visitor visa, you can not change for holiday work, and some countries is allowed to be granted holiday work visa, as example notional from Brazil can not be granted work holiday visa.
You can find out on Australian immigration website.
Good luck

The first thing you have to do is go online to and see if you qualify for a visa.

You have to go through a process before you can get a job here in Australia.

You cannot just ask forum members for a job.

1.Ranches are called Stations. As Stumpy said Jackeroo jobs are the ones who work with cattle. Though Jackaroo is the male term Jilleroo is the female term.

2. The Further inland you get the hotter it becomes. This is due to the distance away from the sea providing cooling winds. So if you do end up doing station work be prepared to be hot, sweaty, dusty and surrounded by flies. If the station is located near bush then during summer months you may encounter bush fires. Whether or not you'll be given training on how to fight these I'm not sure

3. The Insects aren't that bad. Though just watch out for White tips, redbacks - The spider you're most likely to encounter (hospital charts have deemed them deadly). Key tip always check any gloves, boots, hats, equipment you use prior to putting it on as it may be containing any one of these. If you encounter snakes, seeing as you'll be around stations you're likely to run into Browns and Taipans and red bellies. These are all deadly to within an hour of poisoning if untreated. You will be trained in basic spider and snake bite bandage usage and information on how to avoid being bitten. Though further note if you are near the east coast on a farm there you may encounter a Funnel Web these are considered deadly also

As I saw some of the post from the real Australian people, maybe you聮re all right; it聮s really hard to get a job in Australia, You won聮t even find one, in just a snap聴although my dream is to go there, but I really have to think it first, I mean, you have to planned everything before going to that state. I heard that, when you work there, you聮ll going to get good benefits and other good stuff in Australia聴which give me a reason to be tempted on that --but I honestly in love already in that country with some of the striking places there? I can say; 聯I am obsessed now.聰 If there is any, who can help me find better information (Aside from the link that I saw here.) on how to get a job there? I must say:聰Thank you so much in advance.聰 I聮m just a big fan of that country聴and by seeing some of the people who already live there? I am now totally jealous at all of you.

An EU passport will not get you employment or residency in Australia.
To get into the country for a visit you will need a tourist visa.

You cannot come in on a tourist visa and then change it to a work visa.

As far as getting a job the website has a list of preferred skills that may get you a chance at a visa.

Another thing to consider is to apply for a university or college course and come in on a student visa. This allows you to work part time.

Consider a working holiday visa too.

Hello Srinath,

I obtained my PR recently and would be leaving to AUS may be in Jan or Feb.

yeah s/w developers have a good scope there but you need to make some ground work and then start your processing. Depending on the domain you are working, choose a state which can sponsor you.

So this makes your work easy. Best way... Goto Seek.com.au and find the jobs related to your arena and expertise, post which you will be able to make a decision about the state you want to apply. If not PR on a independent level would be good.

Cheers,

Chandan,

Hyderabad.

I think we are talking about how to find a job in the Australia. I think the adverts on the site about life and a job in the Australia were published for employees, who want to find a job but the name of site "Expats" is not fit for real deals and for good job. I don't see a program for foreigners!
