Explore farm jobs in Australia for working holidaymakers, students, and visa holders. Includes visa tips, lifestyle advice, and job search resources.
Work and Travel with Purpose
Farm jobs qualify as specified work under the Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417 or 462), making them essential for those aiming to extend their stay. You’ll also find part-time and casual farm roles suitable for international students on the Student Visa (subclass 500) and skilled visa holders.
Affordable Rural Lifestyle
Living in regional Australia offers a unique cultural experience and lower living costs. Farm work often includes free or subsidized accommodation, meals, and a slower, more relaxed lifestyle than urban centres.
