General
Backpacker accounts are for travelers seeking work. You can create a profile, apply for published jobs, check working hostels reviews, and review host properties.
Employer accounts are for business entities. You can list your company, verify your ABN details, post active job offers, list regional accommodation facilities, and review applicants.

We provide a comprehensive review system where previous residents can rate the cleanliness, job-finding support, room quality, and overall vibe, helping you make informed booking decisions.
Every employee in Australia needs a Tax File Number (TFN). Without it, your wages will be taxed at the maximum rate (47%).
Employers are also legally obligated to pay a minimum percentage of your wages (currently 11.5%) into a Superannuation fund. When you leave Australia permanently, you can claim your superannuation back using the Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP).
