About VisitOz

What We Do

We have WORK for all those with Visas which allow work.

We have WORK EXPERIENCE for students and visitors.

Those who want outback farm or station work - working with horses, cattle and sheep, tractor and header/combine driving, bull dozer work, fencing, mechanical work, chain saw work, horsework at stables, in trail riding centres, on Host Farms, with racehorses, polo ponies, camp draft horses or on cattle properties doing bore running, yard work, maintenance and ag bike work with cattle and sheep - must attend the Introduction to Agriculture Course at Springbrook Farm or one of the associate farms.

There are so many jobs that it is possible to find something to suit the skills of everybody BUT do not expect to be a tractor driver on the highest rate of pay after 4 lessons - nor assume that you can do an outback cattle mustering job on horseback if a non rider before the course.

Those who want Hospitality work - on Host Farms, in hotels and motels, bars and roadhouses will attend the Introduction to Agriculture course as all the work is in rural areas. It is sometimes possible to combine hospitality and horse riding work.

The First nine days comprise:

  • Met on arrival at Brisbane Airport, the preferred arrival is Thursday morning.
  • Transported to a hostel in central Brisbane
  • Hostel accommodation is included for one night.
  • Bus ticket to Rainbow Beach on Friday for three days to get over jet lag.
  • Hostel accommodation is included for three nights.
  • Bus ticket from Rainbow Beach to Gympie from where they are collected and brought to Goomeri.
  • Lunch in a restaurant and shopping in Goomeri.
  • Buy boots, long sleeved shirts, jeans, pocket knives, mobile phones, sim cards and phone cards, torches, adapters and alarm clocks if required.
  • Induction paper work including opening a bank account, applying for a Tax File Number
  • Choose a t-shirt and an Aussie Allrounder broad brimmed hat or a cap and a water bottle.

At this point participants are collected by their host farms for five nights.

You will ride horses and agricultural motorbikes, work with cattle, drive and operate tractors, work with fencing and chain sawing skills and have some basic vehicle maintenance tuition.  Farm and outback safety skills are also taught.
