How do I find a Backpacker Job in Australia?

Australia costs money. Quite a bit , in fact. But happily for the backpackers that hope to tour the country, the 417 (Working Holiday) and 462 (Work and Holiday) visas grant the ability to earn as you travel, by working in a variety of temporary, part time and casual jobs in Australia.

Getting a job as a backpacker in Australia can be slightly different to getting a job at home though. Not only is it a different country with a different culture, backpackers also have to play by a very different - and very strict - set of rules when looking for work.

But whether you're searching for a casual job in a bar, a stretch of remote work on a farm, or a short term position at a hostel, fear not . The following guide will help you find work by walking you through the process of job hunting as a backpacker in Australia.

How to find a job in Australia?

How easy is it to get a job in Australia on a working holiday visa? Let's take a look. Here's how to find a job in Australia when backpacking. Note; it can take about 7 days to find work successfully and you may need a few items ( WiFi , Resume , Computer , Mobile Phone ).

You can't work as a backpacker in Australia without holding a working holiday visa. The visa comes in two forms - the 417 and the 462 - which are designed for slightly different purposes, but are almost identical when placed side by side. The type of visa you're eligible for will depend on your nationality.

You must secure your visa before you arrive in Australia, as you'll need to supply a number of original documents as part of the application, and it will be checked at the airport on arrival.

Having arrived in the country with visa in hand, your first job is to get an Aussie mobile number. Head to the nearest Telstra, Optus or Vodafone store (the three largest players in the Australian phone market) and grab a SIM card so that you can make contact with and be contacted by employers.

When was the last time you gave your resume a spit and shine? It's important that it is up to date, and highlights the skills, qualifications and experience that aligns with the type of job that you'll be looking for while travelling Oz. You may well have been a lawyer in your home country, but that experience won't be super helpful in finding a job behind the bar in Adelaide or fruit picking in Tasmania. Instead highlight any relevant experience and transferable skills.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and ideally yours will yell "Employ Me!" 500 times over. Make it professional, captivating, and unmistakably you.

As Australia's number one backpacker job marketplace, signing up with Backpacker Job Board will grant you access to a huge number of potential jobs. It only takes about a minute to register as a backpacker , and it's totally free!

Once you've registered with Backpacker Job Board you're ready to start browsing! We have lots of new jobs posted every day, so keep checking your preferred job category pages often. All our jobs are also posted to our Facebook page. Follow us on Facebook for more updates.

There are restrictions on work options, if you're looking to gain 2nd or 3rd year visa extension.

At Backpacker Job Board we make the process of finding eligible work as simple as possible. We have a page dedicated to 2nd and 3rd year eligible work . Just remember that it is up to you to ensure that the employer is 100% offering paid specified work in an eligible postcode though - so always do your homework.

Is the employer legitimate? Do they have a good reputation? Will they follow through on their promises? It's important that you get a good sense of the employer before you get too far down the road. Check the employer's online presence for things like an Australian Business Number (ABN), contact details and an address, and do your best to search out former employees to get first hand info on what they're like as a boss (Google, Facebook and Glassdoor reviews are a great place to look). It's important that you stay safe .

Cover letters are important. They have the job of personalising your resume, explaining exactly why you, with your skills and experience, are perfect for this particular job. You need to spend time getting it right. If you feel as though your English isn't as good as it needs to be, get a friend to take a look!

Once you've found some good jobs from good employers and developed a knock-out resume and cover letter, it's time to send out applications!

While you don't want to be overeager - the employer will likely be busy, as they're currently looking for help - it's smart to follow up within a day or two. This demonstrates initiative, and shows that you're eager to work.

The job market is competitive in Australia, so it's important that you respond quickly to any correspondence from a potential employer. Reply to their questions in a polite and professional manner, and be sure to ask any more that you might have - this is your chance to clear up any confusion.

You want to know a healthy amount about the job, the employer and the industry before you sit down for an interview. You will probably be going for plenty of jobs that you don't have much experience in, but if you can show that you've learnt a little bit about the field before you've gone to the interview, it'll demonstrate real initiative.

A job offer is on the table, but this is your last chance to decide whether this is the right choice for you, so take it. On top of your earlier due diligence, which ensured the employer was trustworthy, you should take the opportunity to look at the area that you'll be working in, and the type of work, the pay and the work conditions, to ensure that this is the right move. All of these things should be clearly laid out by the employer before you accept.

Congratulations - the job has been offered and you've accepted! But before you get to work, you need to make sure you have everything you need.

The first items on your checklist will be any certificates and qualifications you might need in your new job. Your employer will be able to advise the specifics, but common qualifications include the White Card certificate system for labour and construction jobs , and RSA/RSG certificates for hospitality work .

You also may need to have clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE). Check what, if anything, the employer supplies, then go shopping for the extras. This is particularly important for labouring , fruit picking and farm work .

You've done it! It's time to put in the hours and get paid.

There's one final step in the process. Getting paid is great, but it does mean that the government gets paid too, by taxing your income. You want to be sure you're not passing too much money on to them, and our backpacker tax calculator helps you to do just that. Simply pop in your income and the tax you paid, and we'll let you know what you can expect to get back at the end of the financial year!

Find Casual Jobs in Australia

Fruit Picking Australia

Finding casual work whilst travelling around Australia is not always easy with numbers increasing each year competition grows to find that elusive job. One of the main reasons for not finding a job is reasearch, knowing when and where the seasons are right for fruit picking.

WORKSTAY® Outback Pubs

One of the best things about working out in the bush is that you meet some great characters. Whether it be kicking back on a day off drinking beers with the boys; sitting out in the sun gassing to the other barmaids; or out playing tennis or at the gym with the kitchen crew, there were always people around.

Tax Information for Australia

Tax for working holiday makers. It is a complete myth that you will automatically get all your tax back when you leave Australia! There is a lot of confusion out there amongst, not only working holiday backpackers but also amongst many employers and even some accountants and tax agents.

Visa Information Australia

WHV's can ONLY be applied for; before arriving in Australia. Working Holiday Visa's* can only be granted before you arrive in Australia. For details about applying visit

WORKSTAY® Farms

Outback Station and regional Farm work will go towards your 2nd year visa whether its paid or voluntary.

WORKSTAY® Hostels

A working hostel is where staff actively helps their guests to find work as long as you are staying at the hostel.

Happy Customers Tell Great Stories

We did not know what to expect, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We would never do anything like this at home but travelling around Australia doing casual jobs in Perth was brilliant from fruit picking in Victoria, Bar work in Western Australia and living on an island in Queensland was magical and meeting new friends for life. I would definitely recommend backpacking around Australia.

Travel Information

“One thing we never expected when travelling Australia was the size of the place, but that is exactly what it was massive! But the people we got to meet and the places we got to see were just amazing. What an amazing place!”

If you have a valid Working Holiday or Student Work Visa, Tax File Number and at least 3 weeks availability (Workstay recommends at least 3 weeks or ideally more) and are reasonably fit (bending, climbing ladders, long hours standing, all weather) then you will probably consider doing some kind of horticulture work during your Australian travels.

When I first accepted a Workstay Outback Pub placement I had an absolute panic attack and wondered what the hell I was doing. I had never worked in a pub before and then I arrived in the middle of nowhere. As far as the eye could see there was just bushland and nothingness. I say to anyone thinking about the Workstay Country Pub Program - that it is the best way to experience real Australian life and meet true blue Ozzies (and make some life long friends). GO FOR IT!!!

“Looking to work in an Outback Pub We have put together a data base of all the Pubs and Hotels around Western Australia some that have worked with us over the years and some who like to work independently or have no idea that backpackers are out there looking for work.!”

Outback Pubs

Superannuation is a compulsory retirement saving that is paid by your employer. It is compulsory for employers to pay a minimum of 9% of your wages in superannuation if - you are over 18, and - earn more than $450 a month from that employer. It does not matter if you are working as permanent or casual, or if your resident or non-resident for tax purposes. Your employer must pay superannuation for you if you meet the above criteria.

“Tax for working holiday makers. It is a complete myth that you will automatically get all your tax back when you leave Australia! There is a lot of confusion out there amongst, not only working holiday backpackers but also amongst many employers and even some accountants and tax agents.!”

How to Find Work When Travelling Australia

This post may contain compensated links. For more information, read our disclaimer here .

One of the most frequent questions that are asked in our Facebook group – Planning a Lap of Australia is how to find work when travelling Australia. For most people -including us – travelling long term without the need to stop for work, is just not financially possible.

In this post, we outline how to find work while travelling Australia – how we do it. You will find some links to websites and also some Facebook pages and groups that regularly have jobs listed for working around Australia. We also asked some other full-time travellers to tell us how they find work travelling Australia in a van.

JOB SITES AND GROUPS

Table of Contents

When we were in the early stages of planning our new life on the road we did worry about how hard it would be to find jobs working and travelling Australia. Brenden has been a truck driver for most of his working life, with a couple of stints in management. I have worked for Woolworths for 10 years so have customer service skills as well as management skills.

I did a lot of research and found that there are some great websites and Facebook groups that advertise jobs and jobs for grey nomads. Some are general sites and some are industry-specific. The number of jobs that I saw advertised gave me confidence that there is plenty of work when you are travelling around Australia.

Here are a few of the sites that I see work advertised on all the time.

• Workabout Australia – become a member to see jobs first
• Grey Nomad Jobs – register to be able to apply for jobs on the road
• Australian Sugar Cane Farming/Harvesting – Facebook Group
• Jobs for Families Travelling Australia group – Facebook Group
• Working On The Road In Australia – Facebook Group
• Australian Rural and Remote Jobs – Facebook Group
• Harvest Jobs Australia – Facebook Group
• Working while living on the road – Facebook Group
• Short Term Bush Jobs For Travelling Tradesmen – Facebook Group
• Farm Work Australia – Facebook page that shares job ads
• The Farm Army – Facebook page and website advertising rural jobs
• Bush Recruitment – website for finding rural work

Also don’t dismiss the various employment agencies that can be found travelling Australia. Try the following –

• Programmed Employment – recruit for a variety of jobs
• Rural Enterprises – harvest and farm work
• Caretakers Australia – Caravan park and motel relief
• AgriLabour – Website advertising rural positions
• Ag Workforce – Website advertising rural positions

There are many, many more. Just do a google search for the area you are in or going to visit next.

Also don’t dismiss sites like Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace both for finding jobs advertised or advertising your skill-set and you might be working travelling Australia sooner than you think.

HOW WE HAVE DONE IT

As we were preparing to leave the Gold Coast last year I saw a post in a Facebook group looking for Relief Caravan Park Managers. I was in two minds as to whether to contact them as we had NO experience. But in the end, I sent them an email outlining our skills. After a chat on the phone, the owners were happy to give us a go. So after a couple of weeks of learning the ropes, we did a two-week relief.

Now I have to tell you – it was pretty hard work. The days were long and most days we were pretty busy. We were paid for our work and a site for our van was also provided free of charge. But this is not always the case. There are places that will ask you to pay for your site or deduct it from your wage. So always ask what is included before agreeing.

Would we do it again? Yes, but it would have to be the right circumstance for us.

WORD OF MOUTH

Brenden’s second lot of work came from meeting a guest whilst doing the caravan park relief. He was from Queensland and had travelled to NSW to work at a silo during the grain harvest. He told Brenden that they were looking for more workers.

Recruiting for this position was done through Programmed Employment. So once Brenden had signed up with them, he ended up working at two different sites. One in NSW and the other at Dimboola in Victoria. Work of this nature generally starts around the beginning of October and goes through until the end of January.

Brenden has just completed his second season and I have just worked my first. I was in the Sample Hut and also on the weighbridge. There were a couple of days of training to learn the ropes for the sample hut. It was all very new to me but after a few days of actually doing the role I had picked it up. Some days were extremely full-on – 9 to 12-hour days with minimal breaks. Some days it was very hot and dusty but I actually did enjoy the work.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT WORK

This kind of work is something that has only come up in the last few years. I do a couple of hours of work a week managing social media for a small company. From that, I make a couple of hundred dollars a month. Certainly not enough to live on but every little bit helps and I enjoy doing it.

Aside from Social Media, you can find this kind of work in areas like bookkeeping or data entry.

USE THE SKILLS YOU HAVE

Look at what skills you do have. If you have a trade such as an electrician or a hairdresser, consider taking that on the road with you. Many caravan parks will let you pop a sign up to advertise whilst staying there. Always ask the caravan park owners though before you display your sign.

I have worked for Woolworths for the last 10 years. As a casual I only need to do one, three-hour shift every three months to stay on the books.

Teachers, nurses, dentists and even doctors are in high demand in many parts of Australia, especially in rural and remote locations. You may find there are extra incentives to work in these places such as subsidised accommodation or travel.

Can you up-skill? For example, if you have a truck licence, can you upgrade it to a multi-combination licence? Have you worked in hospitality but don’t have an RSA?

JUST ASK THE QUESTION

Don’t be afraid to ask anywhere and everywhere if they have work. I met a lady in Emerald a couple of years back and she won a week’s worth of work in a local coffee shop. She had been in there for a coffee, could see they were flat out and just asked if they needed a hand.

This approach often works well in caravan parks, take-aways and pubs as well. Even just chatting to the locals in the pub could lead to work.

Sometimes you don’t even need to be looking for work and it will be offered to you. Recently we were offered work at a pub in outback Queensland and Brenden was asked if he wanted to drive a water cart. So the work is definitely out there.

A WORD ON BLOGGING

I know many people start a blog or a Facebook page to document their travels around Australia. I’m also sure there is a portion of those people who think that the sponsorship will just roll in and they will begin to make money or get free stuff.

Now I can assure you this is not the case. Blogging is a lot of hard work. Unless you are very lucky it will take you a long while before you start to see any returns. It has to be a passion project to start and there is a lot more to it than just popping up a couple of pics on Instagram and tagging a few businesses in it.

We have been fortunate to work with some great brands in the last ten years, but it was a long while before we got our first offer. Those offers are also very infrequent.

Currently, we make a small amount each month from affiliate sales. But it is certainly not enough for us to live on. And I have to say, we’re happy with that.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE

So what have other travelling families or couples done to find work when travelling Australia? We asked a couple of other full-time travellers to share their experiences.

NOT GREY NOMADS

Crispy and Frannie have been travelling Australia now for 2.5 years (not including the Coronavirus bit!) We’ve both tried things we’ve never done before since we’ve been on the road, which is an exciting part of the whole adventure. Our first job on the road was at a remote NT Cattle station. Crispy was a Bore Runner/Station Hand/Essential services officer. Frannie was a Take-Away Cook/Customer Service/Cleaner/General Assistant for whatever needed doing, in the station store that serviced the local remote community of about 300 people. Talk about a life-changing experience! We found that Job on Gumtree Jobs.

We then got a job through a local Facebook jobs group for Crispy driving Dump trucks and Excavators for a mine near Cloncurry. No experience, but they needed a bum on that seat. He had an HR Licence, which is a great ticket to have. We both have these, and Frannie was a Bus Driver a few years back now. Frannie went into the Woolworths to see if they needed anyone. She ended up almost full-time as a front-End supervisor! The good thing about a company like that is your training is nationwide, so you can then go to other Woolies and be ready to hit the ground running.

Once we got to larger towns, you will find you need to deal with job agencies more and they are not all as helpful as each other. Some don’t want anything to do with you unless you are on Centrelink payments. Some won’t accept you walking in off the street without having applied online first. Some out there get it and are more than willing to help if you show you’re adaptable and easy to work with. Without fail, you will make an impression if you turn up with all your documents. Like your ID, resume, licences, references contact details, etc in a digital form, and can provide anything they might ask for then and there, on the spot.

While we were back in our home state for a while, we decided to get our forklift tickets. There are a lot of jobs that require it, so it’s another great ticket to have. One job agency told us they had rejected our application without even looking at it, as we didn’t have that ticket, even though we were both very suitable candidates for the role! Crispy ended up getting that job by approaching the employer directly – Sneaky! After meeting us they told the agency they wanted to give him a go. He was much more suitable than the candidates the agency had been sending to them!

However, to make sure we are getting a look in the door, we now can pass the “must-have forklift ticket” test. This means we can do warehousing, pick-packing, courier deliveries, factory work, and even some harvest work. All of these are great places to pick up jobs where it doesn’t matter to them if you don’t plan on spending the next 10 years there when you apply. These places are used to a transient workforce, so they don’t expect massive commitments from you upfront to put you on. Makes it much easier when it comes time to move on! Plus it’s not hard to make yourself do a tough, physical or menial job for a couple of months when you know you’ll be lazing on a beach for a couple of months after you are all cashed up again!

TRAVELING BEANS

Traveling Beans was born from a mobile coffee business I had in Hervey Bay. We sold that and bought a truck and built a coffee pod for the back which could be lifted off with jacks.

How we got work so we could do more travelling and working was a lot easier than first thought. People out west are in a drought not only with no rain but also they don’t get the opportunity to pop down to a cafe for coffee and cake like people on the coast take for granted.

I targeted country music festivals and events like rodeos. I was very surprised how well Traveling Beans were accepted when we rolled into country towns.

On the road, you have to plan ahead. Who would have expected the worst fires in Australia’s history and then Covid 19? We advise everyone who is thinking of an adventure like ours to have a backup plan like all advisors tell you, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Traveling Beans will get back on the road soon and hope we can meet more people following their dreams.

Ben and I have been travelling around Australia, on and off, for the past 3 years. We started out in a camper trailer but then upgraded (not by much) to a tiny 40-year-old pop-top caravan.

When our funds run low, we stop for a couple of months and find work. In the beginning, Ben would get whatever labouring type of work he could find, and I’d get office work. We’d generally just register with a local agency in our respective fields.

More recently, Ben got his HR license, so he works as a truck driver, while I work from the caravan on a couple of side hustles.

I’m working on our two blogs: BenAndMichelle.com and RVObsession.com. They’re both growing and bringing in some income via ads and affiliate income, but it’s not a full-time income yet to fully support us while we work while travelling. 

So I supplement our income by providing Virtual Assistant (VA) services to 2 clients. 

One client is a US-based blogger in the RVing niche, I look after her Instagram account. And the other is a motorhome manufacturer here in Australia; I manage their Pinterest account while also writing articles for them every month.

But my main focus is growing our blogs, and it’s finally starting to pay off. Hopefully, by the end of this year, they’ll be bringing in enough income so that we can keep travelling indefinitely while making money from the blogs.

MY RIG ADVENTURES

When we hit the road, we knew that working along the way was going to be the only way to fund our lifestyle. Unfortunately, there hadn’t been any lotto wins or long-lost inheritance for us!

To be honest, finding work as we’ve travelled hasn’t been too difficult a task. We’ve lived on the road full-time for two years and have managed to keep the dream alive basically by travelling for three months, then stopping to work for the next three to travel and work Australia.

Allan is a Truck Driver/ Excavator Operator, so he’s been the main breadwinner. He usually starts looking for a job before we get to a town that we know we want to stop in and often has something lined up by the time we get there. We generally pick towns that we know provide cheap accommodation, so that we’re able to pocket more money for the next leg of the journey. House Sitting and Low-Cost Camps have been great for this.

The best places Allan has managed to find work have been the usual avenues that you’d use at home – Seek, Gumtree, Facebook, Indeed etc. The biggest hurdle has been finding short-term work, as employees are often after people who will commit to longer than three months.

I draw in a part-time income through blogging, which is a feasible option if you’re that way inclined. Be mindful though that it’s a long-term game and will realistically take years before you’re living off blogging proceeds, if ever at all. I wouldn’t recommend blogging as an income if you’re not interested in web design, freelance writing and working for love (for quite some time).

You can follow My Rig Adventures on their BLOG , FACEBOOK , INSTAGRAM and PINTEREST .

As you can see, there is most definitely work available as you travel Australia. If you are prepared to put yourself out there and have a go at new things you will be able to find work.

In this current post-Covid 19 crisis, many rural industries are without their normal ‘backpacker’ workforce. So there are currently loads of grey nomads jobs and jobs available picking fruit and veg while you are caravanning around Australia.

We hope you find the information in this post useful. Do you have any other tips on how to find work when travelling Australia?

Can I ask how you managed to get VA jobs please?

Hi Caroline It was from an association with one of the caravan park companies. You could try Seek or one of the mainstream channels. Or maybe search for VA jobs in Facebook groups.

Thanks for the insight

Fantastic and insightful read. Thank you.

Glad you found it helpful.

Hi, I have been trying to get our farm-related job group to be more productive. It is called Helping Australian Farmers and Travellers. Jobs (FB Group) https://www.facebook.com/groups/1980332205543058/ It is 100% free for the job seeker and the farmer. The site is operated by a registered charity called Helping Australian Farmers Ltd. https://www.helpingaustralianfarmers.org.au/

You can share this group in our Planning a Lap Group as well if you wish.

23 ways to earn money travelling around Australia in 2022

If you're looking for ways to earn money travelling around Australia then you've come to the right place.

If you've spent some time looking around this website you'll know that I devote quite a bit of energy into the financial side of doing The Big Lap.

I created our free Big Lap Budget Spreadsheet specifically to help people planning their Big Lap to get an idea of how much money they were going to need for the trip.

So far it's been downloaded over 50,000 times which tells me that 'how to fund the trip' is a big question on peoples minds.

Some people have enough money tucked away or choose to sell their house so they can do their Big Lap without needing to work.

But for others, finding work or other ways to earn money travelling around Australia is more realistic and can be the means to make their trip viable.

So in this post I've outlined 23 ways for you to consider that could help you to earn money while travelling around Australia.

At the end of the article you'll find a list of links to websites that you can help you in your journey.

Do you have another idea to earn money travelling around Australia? Let me know in the comments below and I'll add it to the list.

• 18. Travelling Musician/Busker
• 23. Social Media Manager

Short Term Casual Work

The simplest way to earn money travelling around Australia is to look for short term casual work opportunities where you basically get paid by the hour.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that a dollar saved is a dollar earned so looking at ways of reducing the amount that you need to spend is equally effective.

Trading your labour for reduced cost or free camping is just as effective as getting paid by the hour.

• 1. Fruit & produce picking

Coincidentally many of the best regions in Australia to travel to also happen to be big fruit growing areas. For example the Riverland along the Murray River, the Queensland Coast, East Kimberley, The Top End of the Northern Territory, Margaret River in Western Australia.

Fruit & produce picking is highly seasonal and fruit growers usually need a lot of labour for short periods of time.

Fortunately there are a wide range of crops across the country so there are always fruit picking opportunities somewhere in Australia.

Being in the right place at the right time is the key and you have the opportunity to work hard and stash some dollars in preparation for the next leg of your trip.

Most jobs seem to pay between $20 & $30 per hour but there are opportunities to earn more if you are more efficient and productive.

• 2. Bar work & hospitality

With thousands of pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants and other hospitality venues across Australia, finding casual or short term work in this industry is a great option.

If you're planning to be serving alcohol then you'll need an 'RSA Certificate' which is a Responsible Serving of Alcohol.

These can be obtained online from here - note that you may need more than one certificate depending on which state(s) you're planning to work in.

• 3. Wwoofing

‘Wwoofing' is an abbreviation for ‘ World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms ’ and, as the title suggests, it is a well established organization of organic farms!

These organic farms offer volunteers the opportunity to work on the farm and trade their labour for food, accommodation and an education in organic farming.

Wwoofing is not likely to make you any money but it sounds like a way to chill out for a while and cut your living expenses down to next nothing, and odds are you may still be able to find some extra paying work here and there to actually build up your coffers.

• 4. Caravan park temporary staff

Australia has over 2000 caravan parks which you'll find in every corner of the country and many of them are very seasonal with visitor numbers rising and falling significantly depending on the time of year.

The result is that they need larger numbers of staff for some periods but not year round.

Many parks will employ travellers to work in a range of jobs across the park including admin, groundskeeping, visitor management, hospitality etc. and will trade labour for accommodation.

You may find yourself working an hour or two per day or a day or two per week in exchange for a free site in the park.

• 5. Camp hosting

Camp Hosting is another opportunity whereby travellers stay for free in a campground within a National Park or even a private campground and act as the liaison for visitors, helping them find their site, maintaining facilities etc.

While unlikely to earn you any money, it gives you a chance to take a break from travelling and cut your spending to almost zero.

• 6. Cook/Chef

If you're a qualified cook or chef then finding work at venues in the places you want to travel should be pretty straight forward.

You may also find opportunities to work in remote locations like mining sites or cattle stations which include food and accommodation as part of the salary package, giving you even more scope to save money.

• 7. Casual labouring

If you're looking for casual unskilled labour work then the Airtasker app is a great place to start.

People needing jobs done post their job in the app and you can scroll through and look for jobs that suit your skill, timeframe and location then put in a bid to do the work.

• 8. Mine worker

There are mine sites scattered all across Australia and many of them in the remote and spectacular locations that travellers like us want to visit.

If you have skills that can get you employed on a mine site then this could be a great way to fund your trip.

Mine work pays very well and is typically scheduled around a 'time on' / 'time off' roster so you can work hard for a couple of weeks then have a week or two off to explore the local area.

I'd check out www.seek.com.au as a good place to start looking for mine jobs and there are also a number of employment agencies that cater to the mining industry specifically.

• 9. Tour guide

If your skills include guiding other travellers on tours then contacting the tour operators in the area you'd like to spend some time would be a good place to start

Tradie's like electricians, plumbers and carpenters are always in demand, especially in remoter locations with limited access to skilled staff.

We met a couple of electricians on our Big Lap who both said that every time they mentioned they were a ‘sparky’ the caravan park owner produced a list of jobs for them to do. One guy said he’d stopped telling people because he was sick of working and wanted a holiday!

Take your tools and a pack of business cards and even consider putting some sign-writing on your car saying your available for casual jobs.

Travelling Entrepreneur

On your travels around Australia you’ll come across a lot of travelling entrepreneurs - People who have found a way to make a living catering to other travellers and many of them have adopted it as a full time lifestyle.

If you have a skill or are even remotely savvy at something then there is every chance you could turn your abilities into a micro business and use it to fund your trip or your full time travelling life.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• 11. Hairdressing

Most people need their haircut on a pretty regular basis. Travellers are always looking to save a dollar so paying top dollar in a salon is not a great option. Set yourself up in a caravan park offering haircuts at great prices and you’ll do great business (check with management first).

• 12. Jewellery Stall

Being surrounded by women and girls most of the time, I’ve seen the affect that jewellery has on them. Whenever we walk through a market they have to stop and ogle every jewellery stand and inevitably I’m being asked do I prefer this one or that one.

If you have an interest in jewellery then you could quite easily set yourself up a portable market stall and be open for business at weekend markets and even from right outside your caravan in caravan parks. Get yourself a site where everyone needs to walk past to get to the toilet block or the pool and you’ll do a great business.

You can also do your homework and find out what markets are running in the areas you are travelling to and book yourself in.

Whether you make the jewellery yourself or buy it wholesale and sell it retail is up to you but either way you have good profit margins and and plenty of potential customers.

• 13. Clothing Stall

Much the same as the jewellery idea. Basic clothes like sarongs, bathers, shirts, shorts, shoes etc. casual holiday stuff always sells.

• 14. Craft Stall

Are you a crafty person? I’ve met many people with the ability to make something interesting that others will buy. Generally they are multi tasking - making the crafts while they are working the stand.

Again another idea that can work in markets or in caravan parks from your well positioned site.

• 15. Portraits & Artwork

While we were in Kuranda in Far North Queensland we met a guy who was sitting on the footpath with his charcoals and easel and he made caricature portraits of all of us which are great souvenirs of our trip.

From memory we paid about $40 and it took him less than half an hour. A few of those in the day and he’s making some decent dollars - all of it cash.

• 16. Mobile Barista

It costs less than 40 cents to make a cappuccino including the double lined cup and lid. And almost everyone is hooked on them these days. I heard that when McDonalds introduced McCafés into their business they increased their worldwide profit by over 10% just from coffee.

From my point of view it is a big opportunity just begging to be exploited.

Set yourself up with a mobile espresso machine and stop at roadside stops,  caravan parks and markets and sell cappuccinos for $3 or $4 a cup.

After driving for hours and pulling into a roadside stop for a break if we had been able to buy a nice cappuccino we would have, every time, and so would plenty of other people.

Don’t forget to make a few A-frame sandwich boards saying something like ‘Real Cappuccinos – 1km’ and put them down the road from the roadside stop so people driving down the highway have time to decide they want a coffee and will pull in.

I’d be surprised if you couldn’t make a few hundred dollars for a few hours work at a busy roadside stop – do that a few times a week and you can fund your trip.

• 17. Dog Sitter

More and more travellers are taking their dogs with them on their big lap and to cater to them, many caravan parks are relaxing their 'NO PETS' stance.

For example Big 4 Holiday Parks were traditionally all NO PETS but many will now accept dogs.

The dilemma for travellers with dogs though is what to do with the dog when they want to go on day tours or visit National Parks which strictly forbid dogs and other pets.

There are several dog sitting websites available like PetCloud and Mad Paws which help dog owners to find a dog sitter and these are a step in the right direction.

But what if you promote yourself as a dog sitter to other travellers in the caravan park you're staying in and offered to look after their dog for them while they go out on day trips?

You could potentially recoup the cost of your powered site by sitting someones dog for the day or even more!

Needless to say that if you have musical talents that you can entertain others with then set yourself up as a travelling musician.

Promote yourself to caravan parks and other venues and have some CD's for sale and you might find that a couple of gigs a week are enough to fund your trip.

And of course you can always try your luck at busking in between formal gigs.

Digital Nomad

The idea of being able to 'work from anywhere with a laptop' definitely has some appeal, especially when planning a road trip around Australia.

While Australia isn't renowned for it's fantastic Internet coverage, it is good enough that with a 4G phone (or better) you can find reliable and fast enough service at enough places around the country to run an online business.

Read this article for my thoughts on whether you should choose Telstra or Optus for your service provider to maximise coverage.

So let's look at a few ways that you can make money online with just your laptop and join the ranks of the 'Digital Nomads'.

• 19. Freelancer

If your current employment involves working at a computer, as it does for so many of us, then there's a good chance that you may be able to sell your skills online.

Sites like Freelancer , Upwork and Fiverr act as marketplaces for people needing digital jobs done to connect with people who can do it for them.

Skills like graphic design, writing, voiceovers, website development/management, marketing, sales, computer programming, accounting, language teaching and many more can all be brokered through these sites and enable you to work productively from anywhere with your laptop and an Internet connection.

Best of all you can take on jobs from anywhere in the world and work them into your travel schedule.

• 20. Travel Blogger/Filmmaker

Travelling around Australia is what I would call a 'Content Rich Environment' - With so many great experiences and locations there is plenty to write about, photograph and make films about.

Beware though, it's a competitive space and it will take a long term commitment to create enough content and build enough of a following to make any significant income.

There's also no single income source as a Travel Blogger but rather many small incomes which can include:

• Advertising on your website (eg. Google Adsense)
• Advertising on your YouTube channel (Once your channel is big enough to qualify)
• Affiliate sales (Links to products you endorse and earn a commission on)
• Digital products (Products you create like an eBook)
• Commercial Sponsorships (When you build a big enough audience)

If you're prepared to put in the work and create at least several new pieces of content per week (more is better) then you can start to build an income from travel blogging.

Your website will be the 'hub' of your travel blog and the spokes will be the various social media platforms where your audience is at.

Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter & Pinterest are the big ones and I'd suggest being on all of them but a minimum of three.

• 21. Photographer/Videographer

If you have skills with a camera then you may be able to earn money by selling your services as you travel around Australia.

A friend of mine took his DJI Phantom drone and laptop and sold promotional videos to caravan parks in exchange for accommodation. While it didn't fund their trip, it helped to reduce their costs.

• 22. Online Consulting

Similar to Freelancing, if you have skill that could involve consulting with people over a Zoom call then you may be able to build a small business around this while you're travelling.

Many people now work from home in their job anyway which mostly involves being at a computer and talking with people either on the phone or on Zoom. It would be relatively easy to transfer that to a mobile operation and run it from your caravan or RV.

We all know how ubiquitous and powerful social media is these days and every business needs to be online making and sharing content to feed and build their audience.

As a Big Lapper, chances are you'll already be sharing your trip online through your own social media channels so helping other business's to manage their social media calendar may be something you can do.

You might offer your services on a monthly retainer based around creating an agreed amount of content and managing their channels (sharing, comment moderation, etc.)

A hand full of clients paying you a monthly retainer could be the base income that funds your trip.

And best of all you can do it from anywhere and at anytime of day.

I'd suggest you start by making sure your own social channels are in great shape to demonstrate your abilities then build yourself a simple website that promotes your services and offer various monthly packages.

You can get started while your trip is in the planning stage and then just transition to a mobile operation when you hit the road.

Jobs for Full Time Travellers in Australia

Last updated on 9 December, 2022

There are many types of jobs for full time travellers in Australia. A lifestyle of travelling and working in how many people can continuously travel. It is also a fantastic and affordable way to see this country.

It is not hard to find work while travelling full time in a caravan around Australia. Many regional or remote areas have more positions available for workers than they can fill and with housing shortages, these areas are often willing to accommodate travellers in caravans.

The need to replenish our travel savings is why travellers find work. We also do it to experience new places, use and develop new skills and knowledge, plus lead a life less ordinary.

What are the ways to make money while travelling to Australia? What are the types of jobs for full time travellers in Australia? Below is an extensive guide with tips and ideas on how to travel and work in Australia.

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. If you use these to make a purchase, I may earn a commission. Any commission is greatly appreciated as it helps to keep Our Wayfaring Life online.

Accommodation Host or Caretaker

Farm and station work, government temporary or contract positions, harvest trail and fruit picking, hospitality, jobs you never knew were jobs, online | blogging, vlogging, freelance writing, editing and more, tour operator or guide, qualified trades, government job websites, facebook pages and groups, say you’re a traveller, do you need a resume and references, claiming your trip as a tax deduction, parking the caravan while working, possible to get work as a couple, what about our dog while we work, gardening and property maintenance, bryon bay, forklift driver, gemfields qld, orchard farm, jervis bay area, beach house property maintenance, hyams beach, deceased estate, hopetoun, family carnival, by the sea, caravan park cleaning, yorke peninsula, tavern bar and kitchen, yorke peninsula, campground 2ic, far north qld, cheese and wine cafe, south west sa, golf club management, south west sa, caravan park cleaning and reception, south west wa, recent posts.

Caravan parks, campgrounds, hostels and the like are regularly looking for travellers (often travelling couples) to take on the role of host or caretaker. These roles can require hosts or caretakers to live on site, which can be a bonus in expensive tourist areas. 

Other jobs in caravan parks and campgrounds include taking and managing bookings, cleaning facilities and cabins and gardening. Positions can be full time, part time, casual, temporary or done on a contract, as paid, voluntary or in exchange for site fees. 

TIP : Register for an ABN before travelling. Many temporary employment opportunities require you to have one.

There seems to be an endless amount of farms and businesses across Australia looking for workers with licences ( MR, HR, HC or MC ) for driving trucks, buses and farm machinery as well as forklift licences. The work available is almost always paid and can be from a few weeks to ongoing.

TIP : Consider upgrading your licence before travelling.

Carnivals, festivals, shows and events are regularly held in communities all over Australia. The need for temporary, casual staff often means travellers are employed.

The jobs available vary from setting up, ticket sales, merchandise sales, cleaning, food and drink service, selling products, demonstrations and so much more. Usually, you will need to say what skills you have or the positions that interest you.

Some jobs pay money. However, exchanges are popular such as free tickets or entry (Birdsville Bash is an example) and others pay commission.

Farm and station work is an incredibly varied and diverse way to make money while travelling in a caravan. The hours, pay and conditions can vary greatly depending on the experience and skills needed to do the job.

Jobs for travellers on farms and stations are often caring for animals, livestock or crops, manual labour such as fixing fences and farm buildings, mustering, bore running, taking care of the farmhouse and garden or a thousand other possible jobs. It is a great way to experience Australia’s regional centres and the outback.

Children in remote and outback areas of Australia have little to no access to daycare or schools. So instead, families will employ a governess (male or female) for their children to help them with their distance education, provide supervision, meal preparation and housework. Often accommodation and meals are provided due to the remoteness of the properties of the families.

Generally, families will ask for a commitment of six months or more as they ideally want consistency for their children. A background in education or prior experience with children can be an advantage but isn’t necessarily essential. Being a governess may be a great way to see and experience authentically family life in the outback.

TIP : If you are interested in working with children, get the relevant working with children checks. 

In remote and outback regions, government departments, including child protection, corrections and justice, education and health, are often begging and pleading for qualified staff. Working in these areas can add a new dimension to your work experience and may give you opportunities for progressing your career.

The wheels of government departments can move very slowly. Try to make inquiries and applications for any positions well in advance if this is a way you would like to earn money travelling around Australia.

TIP : Keep your resume CV up to date and easily accessible on your laptop to make applying for jobs online quicker and easier.

The harvest trail and fruit picking are popular ways to earn money on a road trip. Work on the harvest trail includes picking crops, pruning, packaging and other tasks. Some seasons are for a few weeks and others for months.

Payment for work will be either by the hour or a piece rate, meaning you are paid depending on how much you pick.

Unfortunately, some employers in this industry are unscrupulous in their practices. Not all, but some. Be cautious of any that require you to live on site, pay rent or pay for transport.

Further, be wary of any that then won’t guarantee a minimum number of hours per week. Unfortunately, there are incidents of travellers unable to leave some farms because they are just earning enough money to pay for their accommodation and transport costs.

Otherwise, the harvest trail can be a great way to make money while travelling if you are prepared to do physical labour, often outside in all kinds of weather.

Hospitality is an industry that employs many working travellers. Working around Australia in hospitality can mean working in pubs, roadhouses, island resorts, cafes and restaurants and anywhere else there is service. 

W have heard of travellers saving significant amounts of money working at remote roadhouses because the pay is good, lots of work hours, meals are provided and nowhere to spend money. 

TIP : A Senior First Aid certificate may be a requirement for some jobs. Consider getting yours.

Kid you not, one of the jobs advertised on the Grey Nomads Jobs website at the time of writing this article was for Parrot Scaring Technicians (see picture above). Sometimes, how to make money while you travel in Australia means doing things you never consider doing. Why not give some ago and maybe even have some fun?

TIP : Be flexible and open to the types of work you will do. Travel is about experiences. Make your working life on the road about the same.

In this era of improving internet accessibility, some full time traveller earn money working online. Working online can be very flexible, meaning you can work when convenient. 

Try learning  how to get paid to write  or website development, logo design, editing, blogging, photography, online tutoring, online sales, marketing and data entry. There are far too many online jobs to be listed here, but this hopefully gives you something to think about.

Australia has many tour companies, museums and experiences that need staff to operate. Some like the  Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum  specifically look for couples travelling around Australia to run the museum in exchange for a powered campsite and a small wage.

Rural and remote communities around Australia have a desperate need for qualified trades. Honestly, if you have any trade, you will have no difficulty finding work. We joke that full time travelling tradies only manage to leave some towns if they sneak away in the middle of the night while no one is looking.

From time to time, travellers advertise their trade with signage on their vehicles and carry the tools they need.

How To Find Work As A Traveller

Some jobs while travelling Australia require prior knowledge and experience; it is not true of all. For others, it is about timing and being in the right place at the right time. Regardless being able to work and travel Australia requires a regular commitment to looking through job advertisements online, speaking to locals and checking local notice boards.

Questions Answered About Caravanners Working

Absolutely. And be honest about the time you can stick around to do the work available. Many employers who hire travellers will say what the minimum employment period is. Some are more flexible than others but consider this when applying for any particular job.

A resume is good to have, although we haven’t needed ours yet. In fact, we haven’t even had to do an interview. Many rural and remote employers are willing to give you a go even without the relevant experience, so it is more about showing initiative, commitment and an ability to learn.

Have references handy, although (again) we have never needed ours.

It is possible to travel and work around Australia and claim work related expenses. It is thanks to shearers and their nomadic working lifestyles that these tax rules exist and may apply to you too. For these tax rules to apply to you, you need to meet an eligibility criteria and have the ability to keep good records.

For a more competent information about tax deductions while living the nomadic lifestyle click here . We also strongly suggest speaking to your accountant to find if these tax rules can be applied to your specific situation.

Really it’s not a problem and we do it with a dog. We have done a mix of camping on the job site particularly if it’s a farm, free camps nearby and exchange for our caravan park site. It is something to discuss with each employer because they will often have the best advice about what is available locally.

Definitely! All jobs we have done so far except a few days Daryl did driving a forklift we have been able to do as a couple. Sometimes our hours can vary slightly to each other’s but mostly we have worked together.

It is important to consider your dog when applying for work. The main consideration is supervision of your dog because it’s not like being at home where you can leave them in the house or back yard.

Some jobs will allow you to have your dog on site. On farms our dog Chika has been able run around (she never goes far) and other jobs we have had her tethered close to where we are working. Then there are jobs you can’t have your dog with you and for these we have had Chika sleep in our car. These jobs have been afternoon and evening work when she is likely to be resting anyway and weather is cool. We use our breaks to get her out for short walks and make sure she still has water.

Sometimes there are jobs that are not suitable when travelling with a dog. Again go with honesty is the best policy, speak to a potential employer about you having a dog and you be pleasantly surprised to find they offer up an option for your dog while you work.

Brief On The Jobs We Have Done

In exchange for weeding the garden beds in the farm house yard and doing some basic repairs to a small deck we were able to stay in a one bedroom self contained unit in the Byron Bay hinterland on an old dairy property. The surroundings were stunning and it meant for us we were able to stay in Bryon Bay with our dog for two weeks without any accommodation costs.

Daryl did this for a few days at a local supermarket. It just happened they needed someone for a very short time and we were in the area.

Our role here was to weed around establishing trees. We were able to work as a couple, to decide how many hours we worked and we parked our caravan on site. It was lovely being on the farm and we were able to enjoy the Jervis bay area.

Hyams Beach is famous for its incredible blue water and white sand. Holiday rentals in the seaside inlet are highly sort after and for prices we could never afford. Truly we were lucky to be able to stay in a beach house at Hyams Beach with Chika in exchange for a few small maintenance jobs around the house.

It was an ad on Gumtree for 1-3 days of work in an area we were heading to on our travels. Taking a punt, we called the number and it turned out to be with a company that completely empties the homes of deceased persons on behalf of their families. We took the job offer and found a free camp. Chika chilled out in the yard while we worked.

Of course, not every job we express an interest in do we hear back. At the last minute we got a call asking if we were still in the area and if we could work. Luck had it, we were, so for a month, we worked evenings selling ride tickets and helping to run sideshow alley games.

I liked this job because we had the days to do our own thing. Finding affordable seaside campsites during the Christmas school holidays that allowed dogs was impossible, so we stayed at campgrounds 25 and 45 minutes away and commuted.

For us, taking on this job was mostly about allowing us to gain experience working in a caravan park as this is something we are interested in doing as we travel around Australia. This position was an exchange and paid with us doing an agreed amount of hours for our site. The work we did was cleaning onsite cabins and the amenities (toilets and showers).

In the evenings, Daryl and I worked in a tavern near the caravan park we worked at during the day. I worked behind the bar and Daryl worked in the kitchen, helping with food prep and cleaning dishes. Unfortunately, covid 19 saw the Tavern reduce its trade to takeaway only and there just weren’t enough hours to keep us employed.

It was a scrap bit of paper stuck up in reception and a series of events that saw staff change that meant we went quickly from six weeks to five months working and our roles changed. We learnt a lot about running a campground!

It was a job advertised for staff over the busy Christmas and New Year period that also included a spot next to the vineyard to park our caravan for free, which got us to stop and work in South West WA. The job was supposed to be for a month, but we did not stay that long as Daryl got a temporary position at the local golf club and the cafe did not have work for me.

A conversation with a local golfer and a club unable to find a manager for months landed Daryl a temporary position managing a club for three months. Daryl has agreed to stay longer, so he is.

After being told at the cheese and wine cafe they had no more work for me, it took me one day to find another job. I only asked at local pet friendly caravans because we needed somewhere to park up while Daryl worked at the golf club. I worked cleaning cabins and amenities and occasionally in reception.

Bakery Shop Assistant, South West WA

While Daryl is managing a golf club for what will end up being our longest working stint since we started travelling full time I am working full time at a local bakery.

There are jobs for full time travellers in Australia nearly everywhere you go. If you are willing to work, the work will probably find you.

What a comprehensive list, with lots of tips and tricks. Great information, thank you.

One couple we met had worked running an airport for a year! Like you have said, you just never know what can come up.

Kind regards Jenni

Thanks Jenni. An airport? That is something different and interesting!

What a wonderful insight into life on the road, we did 15 months around Australia and want to do it again but for much longer and now we are armed with all the information that you have kindly supplied to help us achieve our goals. Cheers.

Thanks Heather. Travel is addictive hey? Working as you travel is a great way not only to travel longer but gives you the time and means to really explore a place and get to know the locals. Hopefully we will see you on the road soon.

Would love to travel and pick up a bit of casual work, have MC licence but mostly experienced in HC work, many ears experience in large buses and DA. Ideally get some work on a farm doing grain, worked a dairy farm for some years.

With your experience and license you will have no difficulties finding work around Australia.

Have loved your blog. I am starting out next year travelling alone with my dog. The information I have found on your page has given me the confidence to look forward to my travels up the east coast. Well done

Thanks for taking the time to compile this info. Very inspiring and reassuring. We are putting the plans in place towards travelling full time within the next few years…and we cannot wait to hit the road!

Finding Work as You Travel

We work as we travel Australia, and over the last 7 plus years we’ve taken on various roles.  These have included logistics, stores and warehousing, cafe, cardboard box making, deliveries, caravan park cleaning and maintenance, payroll, office admin and representative work with Hema Maps at caravan and 4×4 shows.  Not to mention other ‘as we go’ research work travelling between destinations.  From what we have learnt, and listening to other like-minded travellers, we have written this eBook. 

Q.  Is it easy to find work? Q.  How do you find the harvest trail? Q.  Is there anything else other than the harvest trail? Q.  What other type of work is available?

There are a myriad of questions that will go through your mind if you are thinking about finding work as you travel in Australia.  Just as we are all different, there is really no one answer to any one question.  However, some of the more pressing questions w e are asked are about the range and availability of work, and those that question the ‘how to’ of keeping an unflappable belief that another job awaits some-where else out there after this one.  We don’t have all the answers and neither will we pretend to.  The following gives you some insight into what we have learnt and written about in ‘B e An Australian Nomad Adventurer’.  

Finding Work as you Travel on t he Harvest Trail

To some, The Harvest Trail means fruit-picking, or some sort of hard yakka in the paddocks.  There is more to it.  As a crop is harvested, it moves into a packing shed, or for some other form of processing.  Someone has to do that.  Transport from the field to the shed, sorting, labeling, packing, storing, loading onto trucks and moving to the markets. 

Then there is the maintenance of vehicles and equipment, admin, payroll, order taking, weighbridge and processing.  Some d ays may be long, hot and dirty.  Others can be varied to shorter days pending on the time of season and the orders needed to be filled.  Climate conditions will vary too.  Hot dry days in the summer months of the southern growing areas to warm balmy days in the tropical north.   As you can see, there is a variety of skills required and environments to consider.

Working the cherry season

That’s only one aspect of the harvest trail.  With the influx of all these transient workers, the local community often need extra staff to assist with other services.  Retail, logistics, trades and accommodation.  Many caravan parks employ extra staff for maintenance, cleaning and office/reception work.

What about before the harvest starts?  Weed control, thinning (grapes), chipping (cotton), machinery maintenance, pallet cleaning and maintenance, pest control and general cleaning.  The grower cannot do all this alone.

After the season, there is other work to be carried out as well.  Clean up, machinery checking and repairs, vehicle maintenance and maybe some last minute cartage.  It’s all there to be done.  What about a care-taking role.  The farmers’ only option for getting away is after the season. 

Be aware that The Harvest Trail is not restricted to farming of fruit and veggies or livestock.  Salt and fresh water fishing industries also form part of this trail.  Be it fishing offshore or aqua-farming salt or fresh water species, it’s all still part of this income earning trail.

Be realistic about your capabilities.  Some positions are best left for younger bodies, while others suit the younger at heart.  If you do have problems bending or standing for long periods, don’t let that put you off.  The employer knows best the full scope of his worker needs.  If he/she feels you are not physically suited to one position, they may well appreciate your maturity and life-skills.  Many are willing to train the right person. 

Other Opportunities for  Finding Work as You Travel

They are out there!  Getting away from the harvest trail, we frequently see job opportunities for short term construction projects, retail, bus driving, motel and hospitality, tour guiding, truck driving, forklift, stores/warehousing, promotional work, event staff, caravan park staff and farm/station work just to name a few.  Caravan Park training is available from Belgravia Pro. Course details are available on the BelgraviaPro website

Cloud-based work

What about working on-line?  Lyn does payroll for a Gulf based company via ‘cloud’.  This involves ensuring that during the company’s seasonal busy times, we are in internet range for a minimum of three days each week – and we negotiate our travel plans around this.   

Volunteering

You might even consider the rewards of some volunteer work.  It’s a great way to blend into a new community and open up new avenues for networking.   Blaizeaid   brings much needed assistance to communities after times of disaster, and is well supported by RV travellers. 

Volunteering at Landcare

Landcare is active in most regional areas, and another helping hand is always appreciated.   We’ve made some great connections through being involved in local working bees, and having assisted as volunteers at a Christmas luncheon for seniors and ‘ orphans ‘ in a country town, and the friendships we gained were a bonus.

Put yourself out there where-ever you can  

The internet provides opportunities to advertise yourself.  Sites like Seek and Gumtree give you the space to post your CV/resume for all to see.  As a Workabout Australia member, you can use a similar forum to target employers looking for itinerant and short-term workers.   Check out where you can put up a free ad on our Work Wanted   page.  Advertisers on our page have advised us of successful outcomes for them.  Just follow the instructions on the page.  To ensure on-going credibility for employers, please advise any editing and  update to your entry as your situation changes.

One thing is for sure, believe it and you will see it – there is no shortage of opportunities out there

Do you have your own portable small business or hobby?  Can it turn a dollar or two without impeding too much on your new lifestyle?  More to the point, will it fit within the confines of your rig?  Look at your interests,  can you turn any into a bit of income?

More work opportunities can be found on our Work Opportunities page

How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe With 2024's Biggest Trends

As regular readers of Who What Wear UK will know by now, we pride ourselves on our ability to search through the runways and street style to bring you the most relevant trends for the season ahead, but none more so than when it comes to helping you build a hardworking wardrobe with pieces that will stand the test of time. Whilst buzzy new trends come and go, we will always advocate for the kind of clever shopping that allows you to buy less and wear more, and looking to our sources for tips on what to wear in 2024 and beyond, we were not disappointed with the results.

Last year was a great year for building timeless looks, and so chances are you already own some of the year's heavy hitters, like the boxy blazer , the perfect white tee and the crossbody bag. But if you're looking to build on those this year, you've come to the right place. We've put together a list of versatile basics that we spotted on the runways that manage to build a capsule all of their own, and if you add these to what we've already picked up over the past 12 months, you're onto a winner.

Keep scrolling to see the eight pieces that are already being spotted everywhere for 2024, and beyond. Who knew it would be so easy to re-create 2024's biggest trends with less than 8 items?

2024 Capsule Wardrobe Pieces

1. mid-heel shoes.

Style Notes: One of the more subtle shoe trends of 2024, the mid-heel shoe continues to strike the perfect balance between dressy and comfortable. Everything from low-heeled ankle boots to party-season kitten heels are on our wish lists right now, and what better shoes to invest in than ones you can wear time and again without the need for blister plasters?

Shop Mid-Heel Shoes:

Ticking off two trends in one.

Yes, there's often still a need for classic black ankle boots in spring.

Decisions, decisions… these also come in black, black suede and cream.

Elevate the everyday with this pair. 

2. Burgundy

Style Notes: You'd have to be living under a rock to not notice that red was a huge colour trend last year, and while it's not going anywhere anytime soon, it has had a grown-up glow up for 2024 in the form of burgundy. Elegant, classic and timeless, this hue is the perfect way to add a touch of colour to an otherwise very minimalist capsule.

Shop Burgundy:

Such a cool layering piece.

A very cute spring/summer bag that will hold all your essentials.

It's an investment, yes, but one worth making due to the quality of the fabric and cut of this blazer.

Because we all know buckles ballet flats are everywhere right now.

3. Loose-Leg Jeans

Style Notes: If 2021 saw the return of the skinny and 2022 was all about the straight-leg, this year continues last years baggy jean adoration. Although the runways tried to convince us that we'd all be wearing low-slung jeans, we prefer something a little more wearable, and the looser wide-leg style is right up our street. This roomier, more casual fit is perfect to pair with chunky knits in winter and with a tank top or tee in summer.

Shop Loose-Leg Jeans:

Just the right amount of slouch.

This pair is  flying.  

The pleating on these really take them up a notch.

The sculptural silhouette is so modern. 

4. Cardigan

Style Notes : We may have Katie Holmes to thank for making the cardigan cool again, but years after her "bra-digan" debut, we're still turning to cardigans over crew necks for a warm layer that's easy to wear and also feels polished. Take tips from fellow stylish stars Alexa Chung , Sofia Richie-Grainge and Hailey Bieber by wearing a fine knit with nothing underneath and pairing with jeans and simple flats.

Shop Cardigans:

I'll take one of these in every colour.

This colour is so delicious, and would pair perfectly with so many pieces.

Cropped cardigans are perfect for pairing with high-waisted trousers and skirts.

You can't beat Marks and Spencer quality at a bargain price. 

5. Midaxi Skirt

Style Notes: Sorry, miniskirts; we've made up our minds and there's much more longevity in the midi and maxi than the micro hem. Which other skirt dresses up and down as easily as a longer, elegant slip or A-line? All you need is a change of shoes for two entirely different outfits in one, and that makes the long skirt well worth its cost per wear.

Shop Midaxi Skirts:

The flared hem gives this such an elevated vibe. 

Throw on a blazer and you're good to go.

How pretty is this pink style? Wear with the matching waistcoat or a simple black blazer.

Ideal for the office.

6. Minimalist Tote

Style Notes : If there's one bag that is guaranteed to do it all, it's a roomy tote, and we keep spotting minimalist styles on the arms of Instagram's best dressed. Logomania had its moment and bold, statement bags are great for bringing a look to life, but if you're looking for an investment bag to spend a little more on for a lot more wear, an understated tote will only go up in value (and I can get behind any bag that fits a laptop inside).

Shop Tote Bags:

Love the elongated shape of this one.

Suede makes everything look so luxurious. 

Our editors are convinced that  DeMellier makes some of the best bags around. 

7. Wide-Leg Trousers

Style Notes : Back for another year (as if they ever left), the tailored, wide-leg trouser continues to be team Who What Wear UK's favourite silhouette to flatter every shape and size. Celebs and influencers are still wearing " puddle pants " (a trouser long enough to gather around the ankle) but if that feels like too much fabric, a kick-flare cut will give the same effect without overwhelming your frame.

Shop Wide-Leg Trousers:

Proof that camel is the ultimate "rich girl" hue.

Taking notes on this whole look for the office.

The boxer short detail adds a bit of fun to a classic.

Such a fun shade to play around with for spring.

8. Simple Midi Dress

Style Notes: Just like the midaxi skirt, there's only one dress trend worth committing to this season. The versatile knitted midi dress comes into its own with knee-high boots for the office but is equally as chic with flat sandals and a boxy blazer for spring weekends. Pure, polished perfection.

Shop Maxi Dresses:

This Aligne iteration has already been seen all over Instagram with the matching cardigan.

The flared sleeves are a great additional detail. 

Butter yellow is everywhere right now.

Just add heels for brunch with the girls.
