Program description

Farm work provides the opportunity to take part in rural life with the possibility of financing your trip to Australia. This intensive training followed by a guaranteed salary allows young working holidaymakers to save a significant amount in 3 months, enabling them to renew their visa for a second year! The only requirement: be motivated, ready to learn, and willing to get your hands dirty.

Like all of our gap year work programs, this project in Australia offers a training program combined with employment within a local organization, enabling you to gain a comprehensive professional experience while enjoying a gap year advantage.

The program is available for durations ranging from 4 to 24 weeks, with all services included in the first two weeks, which explains the fixed price regardless of the length. Generally, participants choose to stay for 3 months in this first job because completing 88 days or more of farm work allows them to obtain a second Working Holiday Visa, providing an additional year in Australia!

The 16-week program is the standard option to optimize the start of your working holiday in Australia. This is the ideal duration to prepare and enjoy a secure and guaranteed path toward your second visa.

If you wish, you can begin your program with English courses to improve your level and have the best immersive experience afterward!

Positions are available year-round for veterinarians, veterinary nurses, and animal enthusiasts.
