You
can stay in Australia longer if you study
or work in Australia.
If you think that you won’t get enough of Australia
on a trip and want to stay longer, you may want to work or study here.
It is not a bad idea - a lot of international students study abroad in
Australia, and a lot of backpackers work and travel Australia on a
working holiday visa.

Become an International Student - Study Abroad Australia
There are a lot of international students in Australia, and studying
aboard is an excellent opportunity to get to live in Australia for a
while. You can
study on different levels, whether you need an English language course,
or whether you want to do a university course or degree.
Check out the
Australian
Government’s Study in Australia
website, where you have all the information about what a student’s life
is like in Australia, and practical tips about how to organise it. Once
you know which university you have chosen, there is a lot of
information for international students on the universities' websites
too. You have to plan everything from home and apply for a student visa
from your country before you come to Australia.
You can also work limited hours as an international student,

Work in Australia
Or,
you may want to get a job in Australia. All nationalities except New
Zealanders need a working
permit
to workin
Australia, and you are not allowed to work on an
Australian visitor visa.
You also need a tax
file number.
There are different kinds of working visas in
Australia, but the most popular amongst young travellers is the working
holiday visa. The most popular backpacker
jobs are fruit picking
and hospitality
jobs, but there are also the ski resorts, outback jobs,
mining
jobs, and other
places great for working
in Australia.
