In Australia I’ve been using a few helpful job hunting sites that could be of use to anyone else out there looking for work in Australia.
Here they are:
1. Travellers @ Work – This is a great site for backpacking work in Australia.
2. Blue Strike – Another site for temporary backpacking type work in Australia.
3. Gum Tree – Quite a well known site and quite good for job hunting for all kinds of jobs. From backpacking to professional roles, it’s all here.
4. Seek – More of a general jobs site than a backpacking job site but it still has plenty of temporary/contract roles.
5. Career One – Like seek this site is a general jobs site but has plenty of jobs each day.
6. My Career – Despite the permanent sounding site name, career one does have plenty of temporary and contract roles advertised daily.
7. Jobsearch – Look beneath the garish colours and you’ll actually find a pretty good jobs site.
8. Byron – On the Byron site you can search for jobs with agencies across Australia.
9. Monster – Although a smaller version of the Monster site for the UK, Monster.com is still a great place to search for that perfect job.
10. Jobsearch Gov – This is a good site to find a wide range of jobs, from the Harvest trail to Training and Apprenticeships.
So, there you go. Those sites should keep you busy job hunting for a while if you are seeking some kind of work in Australia.

hey Paul,Thanks so much for these links. My husband and I have been talking about working in Australia and doing some traveling around. These links are so helpful, saved me some time googling them 😛 Cheers
no problem, I'll add some more if I come across any.I think there are quite alot of web development jobs… they just want you for the long term unfortunately
Some great links here.
I am considering going Melbourne in January, I will have about a grand on arrival so will need to find a long term job quickly! Is this possible, anything to get away from the UK…. Ha..
I would obviously like to get a job in graphic design which is what I have a degree and experience in. But I am quite willing on arrival to work full time in something else.
Also have you got any input on the best hostels to stay? Or accommodation in the long term? House sharing etc!!
Thanks one and all. C
