CV review service  for 12-months

An impressive CV is essential for getting a good job in Australia. The dedicated Job Consultants will be at your disposal to review your CV / Resume and provide recommendations for any essential improvements required to get you into work.
 

1-month Luggage Storage - worth $50 Store a suitcase, backpack or man bag for 1-month in our Sydney office. We promise we will not take a peek inside. RSA or white card - worth $85 Ok so listen up, if you want to work in a bar or restaurant in Australia you need a certificate called the responsible service of Alcohol. To do this you need to attent a one day training course.  We include one in the programme! The RSA certificate you need to work differs from state to state so we include the one that is valid in the most states in Australia. Please note this is not valid for NSW, (upgradable locally). Not looking for bar work and want to join the booming construction industry? You can opt for a white card, to work on a construction site. Bar skills / cocktail skills course - worth $125 Barmen and Women in Sydney get tipped. The fancier the cocktail the bigger the tip. On this programme we will set you up with one of the above hospitality courses - you could be shaking it like Tom Cruise in Cocktail in one of Sydney's trendy bars in no time! 12 month post holding & forwarding - worth $75 To get set up in Australia you need an address, how else could you get a bank account, tax file number and more importantly where else would you send all your overweight items purchased enroute in Asia. If you have moved on from Sydney by the time those dodgy fishermans pants have arrived from Thailand, no worries, we will forward you mail for free to wherever you are in Australia!

Show me the MONEY! Bank account set up

We'll open your account with the Commonwealth Bank Australia before you leave home. We will send you all the details you need so that you can transfer some money into the account before you leave (ahem parents).

Medicare assistance

It is like health Insurance, lets hope you won´t need it.

12 month tax refund & superannuation advice Uber boring, but handy when you leave! We will help you with any tax queries you may have throughout the year, help you claim a tax refund after working in Australia and help you claim your Superannuation after leaving the country. That alone can be worth Thousands of Pounds. Travellers discount card - save 5% on tours! Your Travellers Discount Card will save you loads on hostel, travel and tour bookings all over Australia, New Zealand & Fiji. Furnished shared accommodation search advice Finding accommodation in Sydney can be difficult. Sydney is one of the most popular cities to live in in the world, and rental housing is in very short supply.  If you plan to stay and work in Sydney for a while, you’ll save money and make great friends in a shared house. We'll help you beat the rush of thousands of other travellers by giving you all the advice and guidance you need to help find a furnished shared house: by the beach, inner city and all of Sydney’s top locations. Free internet cafe Whats the big deal about free internet? You find it everywhere in the UK, but Australia it is a different matter. Internet is quite expensive, usually about £12 for 24 hours access. Just uploading your pictures to facebook over the course of you travels will cost you a bomb. Free internet & WIFI for 12-months weekdays and Saturdays at our partners office in Sydney. Nice.(Gold and Platinum).
