This package includes everything you need to get to know Melbourne and get settled. Our locals guide you on Melbourne city walks, and get you out trying the street food in the evenings, plus they will of course take you on one of the most famous pub crawls in the world – the Melbourne pub crawl!

It is not all stress, find a job, panic stations. This package also includes a two day trip to the beautiful Mornington Peninsula and Philip Island. You will get a chance to taste some of the famous Aussie wines, spot penguins, and cuddle koalas. Plus you would not be Australian if you did not know how to surf – so we will get you started with a surf lesson – most important for living in Aussie.

There is so many jobs in Australia and Melbourne is an awesome place to start. As well as getting you started you will have lifetime access to the local experts for advice, ongoing events for Working Holiday expats, and a huge database of jobs.
