As Australians thinking about a working holiday, we have
many options. From volunteering in a third world community
or teaching English in Japan, to working at an all American
summer camp or just heading to London to see what life brings,
there are plenty of organisations who can help you on your
way. To get you started here are a few of the more common
choices and websites of some organisations to contact.
Working Holiday Visa Scheme
Australia is part of the Working Holiday Maker (WHM)
visa scheme, which is a reciprocal agreement between Australia
and 14 other countries, allowing WHM visa holders to live
and work in their selected country for, in most cases, 12
months. For more info, click
