DO NOT BOOK YOUR AIR TICKETS UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR VISA
If you want hospitality, child care, domestic or teaching work while you are in Australia that is possible for US citizens. Please bear in mind that the school year in Austrlia is from the end of January through to early December! The long summer holidays are in December and January.
We can usually find work for friends to work together but cannot guarantee jobs immediately at the end of the training course. Wishing to work together can limit your job options as can not having a drivers licence or being a vegetarian.
