Day 1

Welcome to Sydney!

From the moment you land in Sydney, you are in good hands. Get picked up at the airport and head to your accommodation where you can take some time to recover from jet-lag, shower, grab a bite to eat, and explore the neighbourhood.

Day 2

Sydney City Tour

Head out and explore Sydney with fellow participants on a guided city tour. You will see highlights like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and botanical gardens. Finish an epic first day Down Under by having dinner at a bar with your new friends.

Day 3

Orientation & Boat Cruise

Attend a welcome orientation with our local team to learn everything you need to know to live, work, and travel in Australia. After, you and fellow participants will board a private boat cruise in the iconic Sydney Harbour. You will also experience your first Aussie barbie (bbq) - woo hoo!

Day 4

Support & Farewell

You will finalize everything that you need to begin working in Australia - like setting up a tax file number and bank account. Our team will be on hand to help with anything you need to get you on your way and you can choose to set up a one-on-one job consultation with an employment expert.

Australia Working Holiday, Sydney Discovery

I wanted to travel to Australia but I was hesitant to go by myself. Stepabroad made it easier; setting me up with a tax file number, bank account and prepping my resume! When I arrived they had activities planned to help you see the city with a group. I recommend traveling with Stepabroad for extra help with living in Australia and to meet fun groups of people!

… Deciding to leave home was the scary thing and actually doing it was the scariest but you need to do things in life that scare you, and I was so lucky to have Stepabroad along the way if I ever needed something! (And believe me, I did lol) there is so much to see in this crazy beautiful world and I’m happy to say I’m lost in the right direction!
