The Perfect Start to My Australian Adventure – Highly Recommend!

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

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 Physical Therapy Jobs Abroad

Why Work Abroad in Physical Therapy

There are almost as many reasons to go international as there are bones in the human body. Whether it’s professional experience or personal development, physical therapy jobs abroad will offer new opportunities that will impact far beyond your resume.

For starters, being a skilled health care professional means there are very few doors that will remain closed to you in the international job market. Beneath the superficial differences of skin color, language, and religion, we humans are all made of the same stuff. We all get sick in the same ways, and because of this, the simple beauty of working in healthcare is that you and your precious trade will be welcomed all over the world. Physical therapy jobs in developing countries will give you the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people's lives by bringing a valued profession to people with limited access to the care they require.

As well as earning major good karma points, working abroad in physical therapy will strengthen your credentials, and also demonstrate your versatility and commitment to your field. Overseas work experience is as much about learning new skills as it is sharing your existing knowledge. Observing health care systems in foreign countries will give you a deeper and more holistic understanding of your profession. You will learn practices and techniques unfamiliar to you, and gain exposure to cases that may not arise as often in your home country, such as amputations from political conflicts or the crippling effects of natural disasters. All of this means that you will be more desirable than chocolate cheesecake when you hit the job market back home.

It is worth noting that, in most cases, physical therapy jobs abroad won’t make you rich. It will reward you in job satisfaction and success though, as you learn to work in a different cultural context, gain new insights on old practices, and forge bonds with international colleagues. Approaching universal problems with localised solutions will be an educationally enriching experience, and broaden your perspectives on physical therapy and humans in general.
