Whether you’re here for a good time or a long time, new adventures and a lifetime of memories can be found in Queensland. From the Gold Coast to the Great Barrier Reef, our iconic attractions are waiting for you to experience on your next backpacking or working holiday in Australia. However you choose to travel here, you’ll leave a little different. 

Working holidays 

Working holiday, or being paid to live in paradise? There’s no difference in Queensland. Work-life balance is a non-negotiable when your job is on an island, in an Outback oasis, or a beachfront cafe. With 280 days of sunshine a year, warm temperatures and blue skies are guaranteed, making the fact that you’re actually working almost not seem real. 

While there are so many reasons why Queensland should be your next place for a working holiday, staying here longer means more time to explore and experience what’s on offer. Oh, and don’t forget the locals: furry, feathered and full of energy, there’s always a Queenslander around to befriend. 

Make sure you read up on everything you need to know before coming from the Australian Immigration Department. 

Backpackers 

 Strap on your backpack and pack your sense of adventure; Queensland is calling. Our World Heritage-listed natural wonders make the perfect places to explore – and the best part is, you don’t have to break the bank. Whether you want to travel the entire length of one of the world’s seven natural wonders, island-hop, wander through the hinterland, learn to surf or snorkel colourful reef, you can do it here. 

Our friendly and safe hostels are the perfect place to make new mates to share your adventures with.
