What's Not Included

Accommodation

You will receive 6 nights of dorm-share hostel accommodation during your first week. This is an awesome opportunity to bond with your group, as well as meet other backpackers who are doing working holidays or travelling around Australia.

Many travellers choose to rent an apartment together after that first week, or stay at hostels whilst searching for accommodation. Some hostels offer more affordable rates for longer-term stays.

Meals

7 breakfasts and 1 lunch are included. Your group leader has got you covered with the best local recommendations for where to eat, drink and party during your free time.

Famously closer to Bali than Sydney, Darwin’s food scene is hugely diverse. Enjoy loads of different Asian cuisines, alongside fresh seafood, tropical fruits, bush foods, and so much more.

If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know upon booking.

Arrival Information:

Your adventure begins on the evening of day 1 in Darwin. Airport transfers are not included.

It ends on the morning of day 7 in Darwin. No activities are included, so you’re free to go at any time. Your group leader can help assist with your next steps, such as finding accommodation for that night.

Age & Eligibility:

British citizens aged between 18-35 (inclusive) are eligible for Working Holiday Visa. You can apply through us by selecting "+ Visa" in the dropdown menu when booking, or you can arrange your visa yourself. 

To be eligible for a visa, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

• Hold a passport issued by an eligible country or region*
• Be aged 18-35 (inclusive) at the time of applying*
• Not be accompanied by dependent children at any time during your stay in Australia
• Meet health, character and financial requirements
• Have not previously entered Australia on a Working Holiday visa (unless applying for a second or third year visa)
• Be outside Australia when you apply and when visa is granted
• Apply within 12 months of intended travel to Australia.
• Have sufficient funds to cover your expected living/trip costs during your stay
• Have funds for a return or onward ticket to depart Australia (or an actual ticket)
• Have health insurance

Please note: If you have a criminal record, you are still able to apply for a Working Holiday Visa yourself, but we will not be able to process your visa for you.

*Certain other nationalities are also eligible for this visa, although some countries the age limit is 30 years old. For full details please see our Australian Working Holiday Visa page.

Second and Third Year Visas

Due to the free trade agreement between the UK and Australia, British citizens can apply for up to 3 working holiday visas without the need to do rural/farm work to be eligible. This allows British citizens to stay in Australia for up to 3 years in total. Each visa is granted separately and is valid for 1 year. Second and third year visas can be done consecutively, but they don't need to be. As long as you meet the standard age and eligibility requirements you can apply at any time, either from Australia or abroad. We can help you apply for the first year visa, but you will need to apply directly for any second or third year visas yourself once you have started your first year visa in Australia.
