How to get a job in Australia

You can apply for jobs in the country in the same way you'd apply for them in the UK. The recruitment processes and procedures are very similar in both countries.

Australian CVs also follow the same format as those in the UK and you typically apply for jobs by submitting a CV (resume) and cover letter or by completing an online application form.

Speculative applications can yield positive results, just be sure to tailor your application to each individual employer.

Once again the interview process closely resembles that in the UK and as such you could be interviewed over the phone or face-to-face before being offered a job.

It may be possible to secure a job in Australia if you work for an international company that has offices Down Under. If this is the case you can apply for jobs before heading to the country.

For graduate roles it's better to have the correct visa and be resident in the country before applying for roles.

Bunac offers a range of jobs in the country and also helps you get set up in Australia on arrival.

Summer jobs

You can undertake casual, seasonal or temporary work in Australia if you are aged between 18 and 30 on a Working Holiday Visa.

Tourism is big business and backpackers can find work in bars, restaurants and hotels. You could also work as a sports instructor or tour guide. The agriculture sector provides a number of opportunities including fruit picking and farm or ranch work in the outback.

You'll also have plenty of opportunity to volunteer while in Australia as there are a variety of organisations dedicated to helping you with your experience.

Teaching jobs

If you have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), a degree and/or a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and at least five years of teaching experience you may be able to teach in Australia on the Commonwealth Teacher Exchange Programme (CTRP).

It is also possible to take part in international teacher exchange programmes for one academic year through the Department of Education - Exchange programme for teachers - Northern Territory.
Internships

Doing a work placement or internship can help build up your skills as well as giving you the chance to make contacts who could help you to get a permanent job.

Australian visas

If you'd like to work in Australia you’ll need the appropriate visa.

As previously mentioned those aged between 18 and 30 can get a temporary visa called the Working Holiday Visa, which allows you to travel and work in the country for one year. You can do all kinds of work on the visa but you can only work for six months with any one employer. You need to apply for this visa from your home country and will need enough funds to support yourself during your stay.

For more permanent work you'll need to apply for a Skilled Migration Visa. First you'll need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect. Once your EOI has been submitted you may then be invited to apply for a Skilled Migration Visa. You'll then have 60 days to lodge an application and nominate an occupation that is on the relevant skilled occupations list.

The type of visa you apply for will depend on your circumstances and the work you will be doing.
Language requirements

The main business language in Australia is English so for some roles and visa applications you may need to prove your proficiency in the language.
How to explain your qualifications to employers

Your UK qualifications will usually be recognised by the majority of employers as the Australian higher education system closely resembles that in the UK. However, check with potential employers before applying.

What it's like to work in Australia
