TESTIMONIALS
One of my best discoveries in recent years. An agency that responds immediately, effective at resolving any situation, with a highly coordinated team of professionals that ensures top-quality support throughout your experience. Australia without Australian Way wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. THANKS 🫂

I had issues with my WHV in Australia and ended up moving to New Zealand, and honestly, the support has been incredible. Eduardo gives you all the confidence and the push you need to start the adventure, and it's absolutely worth it. To anyone who's on the fence, the answer is YES!

What started as a temporary experience became a profound, wonderful life change. My daughter now lives in Melbourne, has obtained Australian citizenship, and has recently been offered a place to study Medicine.

We were already at check-in, just over an hour before the flight, when they spotted an issue with the visa. We contacted them and within minutes they told us exactly what to do and had it all sorted.

They applied for my visa on July 1st and got it approved on the first try. When I arrived in Sydney, they kept supporting and guiding me throughout my entire stay.

Work
Many international students find their first job in hospitality.
To work in cafes, it is helpful to have a barista certificate, and an RSA if you are going to serve alcohol. We tell you which ones you need in our guide to certificates to work in Australia.
Also, we tell you how much people actually get paid and where to look in our guide to working in Australia.
LIFESTYLE
Sport shapes the calendar too: the Australian Open, Melbourne Cup, Formula 1 and a packed programme of live events.
Community
Fitzroy, Brunswick, St Kilda, Carlton. Every Melbourne neighborhood has its own identity. Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, and Ethiopian communities have created a city where you change countries by walking a few streets. Prefer to compare before deciding? Here are all your cities of Australia.
