Working in Australia

Australia is an exciting country to live in. If you would like to work here, there are varied employment opportunities open to you. However, you will need to have a valid Australian visa with work rights in order to get a job.

Depending on your skills, location and the sort of work you are looking for, there are many organisations, community groups and government agencies out there to help and support you to find a job.

There are different types of temporary and permanent skilled visas available to you. Australian laws are designed to give all employees the same rights and protection in the workplace. It’s good to know what your entitlements are as well as what you need to provide your employer.

Whether you’re working full or part time, it’s important to take time to relax and enjoy everything Australia has to offer. People here work hard but they take their time off just as seriously.

Depending on your personal situation regarding your visa and employment status, you may be required to pay taxes and other levies. It’s important you know what your responsibilities are.
