About StudentUniverse

One of the best things to do in Australia is a working holiday, and the Northern Territory is one of the country’s best regions in which to do that. Most travellers base themselves in either Darwin, close to highlights including Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park and Katherine Gorge, or Alice Springs, close to Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park and Kings Canyon. You’ll find heaps of employment options, covering everything from working with cattle in beautiful Outback ranches, or working with people in the buzzing lights of Darwin. It’s important to have a Working Holiday Visa, as this will give you permission by the Australian government to work for up to 12 months once you’ve entered the country.

There is plenty of work for skilled & non-skilled workers across the Northern Territory, and its status as a regional destination makes it easy for working holiday makers to extend their visa up to 12 months.
