AUSTRALIAN FARM WORK-TRAVEL
If you're looking for a real Australian experience and to truly immerse yourself in the Australian culture and lifestyle, then this is the programme for you!
The Farm Work and Travel programme is for people who are keen to experience Australia and support their travels around the country by working in various temporary jobs in the rural field. The programme normally commences with a 5 day course at a Jillaroo and Jackaroo school in NSW. The school is open all year round. At the end of the course, you will receive a letter of reference from the providers. You will also receive details of a job placement.
It is important to stress that the student MAY or MAY NOT go straight into work after completion of the course. We have many contacts with farmers and contractors all around NSW who are looking for employees. More often than not, these farmers will want some of the school graduates and will arrange to pick up the graduates on the weekend after completion of the course in order to commence work on the Monday. They also have sheep and cattle stations which regularly take school participants. You need to be a hard worker and a keen learner - that's the way to gain and retain a job.
We will be able to confirm your first job placement and you will also will receive a list of other farms around the country that you will be able to contact. After your initial placement, you can then phone these farmers and state your interest in working for them.
