OUR PROCESS
The first step is to enquire using the ENQUIRE / APPLY link above.
We will work out which Australian visa is relevant to you, and also check your suitability for the programme.
Your application form will tell us your skills, experience and career development aims. We will use this to prepare your profile.
Working with our employment and recruitment partners we will promote you to employers whose work matches your aims.
You will be put in direct contact with employers who express interest in you, and in due course be able to confirm your role in conversation with them.
When you arrive here in Australia we will provide a welcome and arrival service in Brisbane, setting you up for work. In most cases this will include a 5 day induction course which will allow you to get familiar with the working environment, meet some other young people on our programmes and have some fun too.

PAY / WAGES
Your earning ability here in Australia will depend on your skills and how successfully you integrate into your role here. Minimum wages in Australia are generous and fair, and good workers are readily offered better pay rates. Food and accommodation is often included as part of the package, and otherwise is fairly priced.
Farming is often remote, meaning that it can be relatively easy to save. Working full time for a year, savings of AU$40,000 are quite realistic.
