Day-to-day itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Melbourne and hostel

After a long flight with your phone and body battery in the red, you’re in no state to navigate new public transport systems. Welcome to Travel will pick you up from the airport and deliver you straight to your North Melbourne hostel to recharge. Landing a few days before? No worries. Your airport pickup is included and can be arranged for any time on any day before the tour. Need extra nights accommodation? Let us know.

Day 2: Meet the group and explore Melbourne

Today you'll meet your fellow travellers and sort all the essentials you need to start working in Australia (and more importantly, start getting paid!). This includes help setting up your Australian bank account, Australian phone number and tax file number.

With the admin out the way, we head out on a guided walking tour of Melbourne to find our feet, gawk at world-famous street art and find our new favourite coffee spot...there'll be hundreds of these in Melbourne. In the evening, we'll club together for a night of mini golf – the perfect way to get to know your new travel buddies.

Day 3: Work and travel advice

Today it's time to start thinking about what you'll be doing in Australia. During a 1-1 meeting with our Welcome to Travel expert, we'll cover off everything you need to find a working holiday job here as well as what to do, see, and how to get around. We'll discuss how to find work, how to lay out your resume, and how to access your exclusive Welcome to Travel work resources and job database, plus any other questions you may have.

Day 4: Aboriginal Heritage tour

Today, we head out on an Aboriginal Heritage Walk to learn all about Naarm (Melbourne) from an indigenous perspective. Your tour guide will leave you with recommendations for the best things to see in Melbourne...make sure you keep a note!
