Tourism Jobs in Australia
Australia is an incredible mix of vast red deserts and white-sand beaches, tropical rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef, sky-scraping modern cities and the great Outback - not to mention its assortment of exotic flora and fauna found nowhere else on earth. The Aussies offer foreign backpackers a myriad of paid work opportunities, and have come to count on temporary workers from abroad. Work and travel for a year in "Oz", and have the ultimate Australian adventure!

Tourism Jobs in Australia
If you already have some experience in the hotel and restaurant industry, a tremendous range of hospitality and tourism jobs will open up to you in Australia. In Australia, it is always summer weather somewhere, and that is where you will find the tourists. Even if you're new in the tourism industry, it's possible to find a job. Especially the Australian east coast has a lot to offer in this area. Here are some examples:
- Kitchen hand on a cruise boat.
- Surfing instructor near the Great Barrier Reef.
- Ice cream seller.
- Receptionist in a hostel.
In July and August, workers are needed in the winter sport areas, and city tourism is in full-swing year round. You may even receive some tip money.
TravelWorks Tip: We recommend that you bring references in English and formal work clothing for job interviews.
Big Events
You will probably run across at least a few big events (concerts, festivals, etc.) as you work and travel in Australia, and these events always demand many helping hands. Don't be afraid to pitch in! Loads of temporary work possibilities can be found in food service, ticket sales, and security. Other job possibilities include distributing flyers, attending car parks, working as an information host or hostess, or as a souvenir or drink vendor.
Aside from the most famous big events such as the Australian Open in Melbourne, you will also find countless other festivals and events throughout the country.
