The Sydney and Melbourne walk-in resource centres of BUNAC’s partner organisation are a good place to job-search and make new friends. Travelling on a BUNAC group flight, which includes an organised stopover in the Far East on the outward leg, is another way of meeting fellow participants. Training and activity options will also help prepare you to get the most out of your Work Australia experience. The ‘Skills and Thrills’ package combines hands-on, CV-enhancing hospitality courses in addition to Sydney sightseeing excursions, providing you with an introduction to the country plus practical work experience. Other options include a Hunter Valley wine-tasting tour, and a training course in outback riding and other aspects of working on a ranch. The Work Australia programme also offers you the opportunity to make the most of your round-the-world ticket by adding on a Work New Zealand extension.
