88 Days

We Know What
Counts Toward Your Second Year

Getting your 88 days wrong is one of the most common and most costly mistakes working holiday makers make. We make sure every day counts.

📋

Qualifying work only

Not all regional work qualifies. We only place you in roles that are on the Australian Government's list of approved industries and postcodes. No surprises at the immigration counter.

📄

Payslip documentation

You'll need payslips and employer letters to prove your 88 days. We brief you on exactly what to collect and how to store it, so your application is bulletproof.

🛡️

Scam avoidance

There are operators in farm regions who will happily take your labour and pay cash — which doesn't count toward 88 days. We only work with legitimate employers. All placements are PAYG with proper payslips.

📅

Timing strategy

Your current visa's expiry date matters when planning your 88 days. We help you work backward from your visa end date to make sure you finish in time to apply for the extension.

Career Services

Get the job,
not just the interview

A backpacker CV and an Australian CV are completely different documents. Most international applicants are losing the job before they walk in the door.

Australian CV Creation

Your international resume won't cut it here. Format, length, keywords, referee style — it's all different. We build you a proper Australian CV that farm and mining employers actually read. Done in 48 hours.

What we do:
  • Reformat to Australian standards
  • Rewrite experience for regional/physical roles
  • Add the right keywords for farm & mining ATS
  • Referee coaching included
🎙️

Interview Preparation

Australian workplace culture has its own expectations around tone, directness, and safety culture. Getting this wrong reads as arrogant or unprepared — even when you're qualified. We coach you on what matters.

What we cover:
  • Australian workplace culture & expectations
  • Common questions for farm & mining roles
  • Safety culture & site induction awareness
  • How to talk about international experience
Built by a Real Backpacker

I've been where
you are right now.

I arrived in Australia on a working holiday visa with no real plan and a resume that made zero sense to any employer here. I spent the first few weeks sending applications into a void, getting ignored, nearly landing on the wrong side of a dodgy labour hire operation in Bundaberg.

Eventually I figured it out. I worked on cotton farms in Queensland — long hours, decent pay, 88 days ticked off properly. Then I got onto a mining and drilling crew in regional WA. FIFO roster, full room and board, the best money I made in Australia.

What I learned is that the difference between a good experience and a bad one usually comes down to three things: finding the right employer, having the right CV, and knowing what questions to ask. AussieWork Connect exists to solve all three — because I wasted too much time figuring it out the hard way.
