How can we assist you with your job search?
With a team of savvy specialists from a marketing background themselves, many of whom have worked both here in Australia & abroad - we understand the nuances of relocating internationally. Whether you're planning to arrive on a Working Holiday Visa or exploring sponsorship options, we’re here to help you take the next step.
- Visa Guidance: Assistance in navigating visa requirements, including information on the Working Holiday Maker Visa (Subclass 417) and sponsorship opportunities. We’re also happy to connect you with a trusted legal professional for expert advice.
- Pre-Arrival Interviews: Arranging interviews in Australia prior to your arrival to ensure you can hit the ground running.
- Consider Freelance or Contract roles: If you are planning on coming out on a WHV many of our freelancers start there and then have transitioned into permanent roles with sponsorship, as employers are more inclined to sponsor once they already know you’re a great fit the organisation. As the freelance landscape evolves swiftly, we encourage you to reach out to us closer to your scheduled arrival date and check out more on freelancing with iknowho here.

Accommodation
Securing suitable accommodation is a crucial step in your relocation process. Here are some resources to assist you:
Public healthcare
Citizens of the UK, Ireland and New Zealand (plus a few more countries – you can check if your country has this here) have a Reciprocal Healthcare Agreement with Australia so are covered by Medicare, which is the Australian equivalent of the NHS. Find out more on how to enrol with Medicare here.
Australian bank account
Although you can open a bank account before you arrive, you will still have to go into the bank when you get here to confirm your ID and pick up your bank cards. Here is a great article with all you need to know about banking in Australia.
Apply for a Tax File Number (TFN)
Once you have arrived in Australia you can apply for a Tax File Number (TFN) - this is the same as the UK National Insurance Number and you will need it for any job you work in.
