Have you asked yourself what you want to achieve during your time abroad?
Is it “experiencing a new way of living” or “challenging yourself” beyond your usual comfort zone? If this is the case, The Visitoz programme may be just what you are looking for. We provide a short introductory course to Australian farm work and then arrange a suitable job that will match your skills and competencies in outback Australia. Our programme begins on Thursday morning with a welcome at Brisbane International Airport. You are then transported to Noosa at the top of the Sunshine Coast where you will spend 3 days getting over the jetlag and enjoying one of the top 3 backpacker beach destinations in Australia. During the training week, you will be shown how to ride horses and motorbikes, how to operate tractors and chainsaws, and how to do a hard days work building fences. We cover cattle mustering and cattle work in the yard with an overall focus on the safety aspects of working in rural Australia. We don’t promise to make you an expert in 5 days, however you will complete the course with the confidence and basic knowledge to prepare you for a real paid job in the outback. Regional Australian is a tough environment and many experience quite a culture shock at first. By sticking with it and showing durability and stamina you will come out of this experience tougher and with a story or two to tell about your adventure. You will meet incredible people, learn many things and make lifelong memories.
