Why work in Western Australia

A working holiday in Western Australia offers something for everyone - sun, adventure, an awesome natural environment and friendly people. It is a land blessed with spectacular diversity and famous for its long days of sunshine, clear blue skies and unspoilt white sandy beaches.

Nowhere else in the world can you experience and interact with such unique natural attractions. You can dive with the world’s largest fish - the whale shark, snorkel with manta rays, swim with wild dolphins, walk amongst the tree tops of ancient trees, sleep under a canopy of stars in the desert, or explore the beehive-like formations of the Bungle Bungles with the help of an Aboriginal guide.

At twice the size of Western Europe, Western Australia is huge! It’s also chockers with natural attractions: jaw-dropping outback landscapes, ancient forests, wild surf, and coral reefs to blow your mind - so what better place to work and play than in a real Australian adventure holiday of a lifetime.

Western Australia has geographical advantages as well. With Perth, the capital of Western Australia being 4 hours closer to the UK than Sydney, it’s the perfect place to start your Australian working holiday. With the Western Australian economy thriving, you’ll find jobs in the tourism and hospitality industry as diverse as our land, and in fantastic places to boot, such as Broome and the Margaret River wine region. Plus it’s to spectacular outdoor events - from concerts and arts festivals, to international sporting events.

So, whether you are taking a gap year or a career break we invite you to come and explore our natural landscapes and working holiday opportunities for yourself.
