I’m applying for a working holiday visa and I’m planning on arriving the first week of September but I don’t have a drivers license and, obviously, I cannot get one in Australia without citizenship - how hard would it be for me to get/work a job without a car? Given that I would most likely start with farm jobs, would it be possible to do so without having a license?
I’m asking because it would take approximately three or four more months for me to get one where I live
App idea: Glassdoor for backpackers to rate farmers
If farmers doing the right thing get rewarded with a steady stream of workers, and the shonky ones couldn’t get them, the power goes back to the backpackers.
That almost exists with things like helpex already. I’m not sure if there’s some variant for paid work. My parents have a farm and have had a bunch of backpackers stay. Some of them definitely did have some stories about being cheated etc.
However, it’s a bit different to what op is looking for as it’s just a bit of work for food and accommodation, as opposed to full days of work for pay.
On the whole I think the majority do the right thing, but there are definitely enough that are dodgy to create a bad reputation
