What does JOB Australia do for Australian Employers?

JOB Australia attracts young people to Australia with the promise of work. The strategy is very simple; identify jobs needs and provide working holiday-makers planning to travel to Australia with online application access to that information before they leave their country of origin.

Where will young people come from?

The Australian Working Holiday visa is available to passport holders aged between 18 and 30 years from the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Malta, Japan, Ireland, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Republic of Cyprus. It is also now possible for passport holders from Thailand, Chile and Turkey to apply for a special 'Work and Holiday Visa' (different from the Working Holiday Visa).

A work and holiday visa agreement has also been formed between Australia and the United States of America and came into effect from the 31st of October 2007.

The Australian Federal Government places a strong emphasis upon promotion of the Working Holiday Visa to stimulate demand for short-term skilled and unskilled seasonal work, especially in regional areas. The visa permits work (in the one job) for a period of up to 6-months.

How does it work?

To be involved, JOB Australia invites you to first register your Company as an Australian Employer supplier to obtain a log-in that then enables you to publish details about the business and importantly, job opportunities in the JOB Australia jobs network.

The online registration and listing of jobs is a very simple and integrated process. It results in the publication of a summary of the job in the jobs network and a more detailed display featuring a job description including hours of work, rate of pay, special conditions etc., and up to four images of the business/property(if uploaded), the company website, a Google map display and a direct email application link.

The online display is accessible to job seekers searching the site giving them the ability to make direct contact with Australian Employers about specific job opportunities before they leave their country of origin or after arrival in the country. Registered job seekers can also complete and forward to you an online resume as part of their JOB Australia generated application, for your consideration and response.

What are the costs?

There are no Employer or Company registration costs and the introduction of a modest schedule of job listing fees has been suspended until early 2010. You can list jobs on the JOB Australia website at any time. Simply use your registered company login to access the administrative area. You then have an opportunity to add new jobs as well as to amend or take off-line previously listed jobs that may have been filled or are no longer available.
