Jobs in Australia & Oceania

When people think of Oceania, they tend to think stereotypically of the Land Down Under: Sydney Opera House, beautiful beaches, and friendly Aussie surfer dudes. However, Oceania expands across many islands across the Pacific Ocean. This region is a medley of mountains, deserts, reefs, forests, beaches, and multicultural cities, and it is truly a magnet for travelers from around the globe. Why not trade in your tourist visa and really get to know the Land-Down-Under lifestyle by working abroad in Oceania?

The Perfect Start to My Australian Adventure – Highly Recommend!

by: Sophie Laplane - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
10

Joining the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour was the best way to start my working holiday in Australia. From day one, everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we had all the essentials sorted—bank accounts, tax file numbers, SIM cards, and even job support. It took away all the stress of settling in and allowed me to focus on enjoying the experience. The itinerary was a perfect balance of practical help and exciting activities. We explored Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, visited St. Kilda Beach, and got to experience the city’s amazing food and coffee culture. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the best parts of the tour was the people. I met an incredible group of fellow travelers, and the shared experiences made it easy to form friendships. Even after the tour ended, we stayed in touch and continued exploring Australia together. If you’re planning a working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour. It gives you the perfect start, a great group of friends, and the confidence to begin your adventure the right way!

A Guide to Working Abroad in Australia & Oceania

Locations

Oceania is not just a place for blonde, tanned, surfer hotties; it’s a land filled with people from all over the world. Nicknamed the “backpacker region,” travelers can make friends with people from Sweden, Chile, and China all in the same day. But this region’s diversity is found in much more than its people. Whether you want to spend your free time petting kangaroos in Australia, skiing down snow-capped mountains in New Zealand, trekking through jungles in Vanuatu, or swimming under waterfalls in Fiji, you will find everything you’ve ever dreamed of in Oceania.

Australia is one of the most popular destinations for travelers from Europe, Asia, and North and South America. From beaches to harbors and bustling cities to pure, authentic outback, there is so much to explore in Australia. Head to Sydney to check out the iconic Opera House and climb the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge. Explore the graffitied streets of Melbourne, where you can spend hours at hole-in-the-wall cafes or join the sunbakers in Brisbane, with their extremely laidback lifestyle and plenty of waves to catch. No matter the location, you’ll have heaps of opportunities to join sports fanatics watching the footy, hit the pokies, work on your tan, and meet new mates from across the globe.

New Zealand calls to all adrenaline junkies. You’ll fall in love with the islands’ clear turquoise waters, lush green fields, and truly, majestically purple mountains. Queenstown, the extreme sports capital of the Southern Hemisphere, is the perfect place to bungee jump off bridges or ski through snow-capped mountains. In the North Island, you’ll find the iconic Lord of the Rings’ Shire, where hobbits roam with their big hairy feet. Some of New Zealand’s bigger cities, like Auckland and Wellington, combine rugged beauty with city life, so there’s something to keep everyone happy.

The Pacific Islands are another popular location to work abroad in Oceania. Countries like Fiji and Micronesia offer a truly unique cultural experience, different from what you find in Australia or New Zealand. While there are more cultural and linguistic differences, you’ll undoubtedly be surrounded with positive vibes that come from close knit, hospitable communities and constant hearty laughter. Head to the islands for white sands and clear blue waters where you can surf, snorkel, swim, kayak, and even trek over volcanoes.
