USIT, one of the leading providers of the Australia Working Holiday Programme, has just announced a €100 discount on all Australian Working visas to celebrate the launch of their brand new website.
In collaboration with Tourism Australia, USIT’s working holiday visa programme offer is available to all Irish citizens or permanent residents of Ireland aged 18-35 years. The last year has seen over 10,000 Irish backpackers, an increase of 77%, travel to Australia when compared with pre-pandemic figures in 2019, as young Irish people seek opportunities to advance their budding careers and explore new lands.
With multiple jobs available in sectors including hospitality, retail, construction as well as farm work, the locations of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns prove the most popular amongst the young Irish diaspora.
USIT has extensive experience of facilitating working holiday programmes for Australia and, as a result, guarantees a 7-day turn around of the applicant’s visa upon submission of the completed application, meaning those interested can begin planning their new life down under within a matter of weeks.
For groups interested in travelling together, USIT can offer further discount incentives to ensure friends can align their timelines with ease and make their big move Down Under as streamlined as possible.
Speaking of the impact of working holidaymakers on the local economies, Sally Cope, Regional General Manager UK & Northern Europe for Tourism Australia stated that young Irish living and working in Australia support regional areas by taking up local work and dispersing right across the country as they travel.
“Ireland was among the first countries for which Australia raised the application age limit to 35, so for many it’s a great opportunity to enjoy a life reboot or start afresh later in life.. Having a valuable partner like USIT sharing the news is a great way of showing young Irish people why they should Come and Say G’day,” Ms Cope said.
“We are delighted to be working with Tourism Australia and look forward to planning and guiding Irish travellers to make the move down under on the working holiday programme,” echoing the sentiments of Tourism Australia, Lisa Collender of USIT, added.
