Frequently Asked Questions

We offer an airport pick-up service when you arrive in Melbourne or Sydney. Our partners will take you from the airport to your hostel, and each city has its own step-by-step instructions, with maps and contact numbers.

Please read the instructions for your city before you fly:

Yes you do! If you’re coming here just as a tourist to visit Australia, you’ll need a Visitor Visa.

If you’re coming here to work while you’re on holiday, you’ll need either a Working Holiday Visa (417) or a Work and Holiday Visa (462), depending on which country you’re from.

You can find more information and a list of the various visas by clicking the button below.

We recommend organising this as soon as you know you’re coming to Australia. The application can be completed through your travel agent, or directly through the same Australian Government website as above. We always recommend checking the Australian Government website for any specific enquiries.

Your guided portions of the Mini Pack can run pretty much every day of the week, so we take this opportunity to keep the numbers low for a more personal experience.

There can be up to 5 people in your walking tour group, or it could be just you and your guide exploring the city on your terms for the day.

If you were looking for a definite group atmosphere then we’d recommend one of our Welcome tours.

With your guide you get a full city walk complete with facts, great food tips and ideas for the rest of your time in the city. You also have your personal one-on-one session with your guide for work and travel advice.

Due to the nature of the Mini Pack, sometimes the Explore day may come before your city walk or you can request a ‘relax’ day the day after you land if you’d like. Once you’ve booked we will send over your personalised itinerary, which takes into consideration our varied work week and what the best layout would be for you.

Our tours cater for people aged 18-39 years old. The average age varies each week and that’s what we love about it.

Definitely! This can be done at the time of booking on the Extras page at Checkout. Alternatively you can add them on closer to the time. We will send you an email 4 weeks before the tour and this will ask you if you’d like to add any on.

Yes definitely! As long as you tell us who you’re travelling with we’ll make sure you’re in the same room. If you’d like to upgrade to a private room then this is possible on the Extras part of the checkout.

The $95 deposit is required to secure your booking. But don’t worry! Full payment is only required 42 days before your departure date, which gives you time to save money for it!

However, if you make a booking within 56 days of your departure date, you will need to pay the full amount at the time of booking.

Yes! If you pay your deposit and later realise you have to change your date, don’t panic.

You can change the date of your booking, unlimited times and subject to availability, up until 15* days before your departure date.

*Please see our terms and conditions here, additional charges may apply.

Once you know you’re coming to Australia and that you’d like the best possible welcome here, we’d recommend placing your $99 deposit right away, especially as we offer free date changes.

That’s up to you and we’re here to help with that! Everyone has different plans for their time in Australia. You might even find that your plans may change halfway during the tour after meeting some new friends.

Either way, the Welcome To Travel team is here to support you before, during and after the welcome week. Whether it’s work or travel you’re looking to organise or get advice on, we’ll be able to help you.

With our help, that’s how!

As part of your package you will receive exclusive tips, resources and guidance towards finding a job and farm work in Australia. You’ll also gain access to our exclusive Welcome to Travel job board to find employees accepting working holiday makers.

We will present you with all of the basic information needed to get started, and give you access to our huge database of employers and contacts in sectors such as hospitality, retail, construction, sales and marketing and many more.

We also send out a weekly update email that highlights the most recent job and farm work opportunities we come across.

Once again with our help! Alongside all the work resources we share with you, we include a database just for farm/regional work. We’ll also invite you to join our exclusive job board so you’ll have even more options!

Of course! During our travel presentation, we will give you an overview of all the beautiful and exciting destinations and experiences around Australia.

Many of our travellers end up continuing their journey with us. Whether you’re ticking off your own personal bucket list or aren’t ready yet to say goodbye to your new friends, we can help you complete your Aussie route. Check out our secondary travel destinations Uluru, West Coast, Tasmania and Top End pages for more info. Fancy a cheeky discount? Then select these tours during the check-out process for a discounted rate.

Absolutely – and we can help you with this. Everyone’s journey is different, so we can plan around your timetable to see what destinations make most sense to add-on. If you plan to work in Melbourne for a bit, maybe hop over to Tasmania. On the way back home? Why not see the West Coast first? Travelling in Dry Season, check out Uluru and/or the Top End!

Yes they can. Your guide will host a brief “Travel Talk” session on tour and they can help you book all of your add-on activities including our other Welcome to destinations.
