Tourism Australia launches new Working Holiday Maker campaign
New data reveals that the trend is expanding in the UK with more than half (55[%) of employed 18–30-year-olds stating they are considering quitting their job.
Nearly a third (31%) planning to do so in the next year.
A study by research company, Censuswide, of over 2,000 employed adults aged 18-30 reveals almost 1 in 5 (18%) of those considering quitting their job in the next 12 months want to travel and/or work abroad
The research was commissioned by Tourism Australia to understand the post-pandemic mindset of young working Brits, and to encourage uptake of Australia’s Working Holiday Maker visa.
The visa allows them the opportunity to continue their career momentum whilst enjoying an extended stay Down Under for a period of up to three years.
With Australia’s borders open, short-term work opportunities in sectors such as hospitality and tourism – typically favoured by young Brits – are readily available once again.
When questioned, more than half (57%) of respondents agree they would consider travelling to Australia as a working holidaymaker.
Earlier in the year, the Australian government announced changes to the Working Holiday Maker programme to encourage working travellers to head Down Under this year and fill the international labour void left by the pandemic.
The update to the visa now allows working holidaymakers to work for the same employer or organisation for more than the previous cap of six months until 31 December 2022.
Sally Cope, Regional General Manager for Tourism Australia in the UK & Northern Europe said: “Our study reveals that young Brits are not only seeking a better work/life balance, they’re seeking new and extended adventures.”
“Working while travelling in Australia not only means living in some of the most breathtaking destinations on earth, it’s also a chance to add new skills to your CV.”
