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
You can get a license without citizenship. You just need a permanent address
I think you’ll find many farmers will have a car pooling system or will be willing to organise one for you to get you there.
Backpackers accommodation also have people ready and willing to car pool in the small towns.
Keep in mind many Aussie farmers will cheat you, if you happen to find a good one please look after them.
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.
Be VERY CAREFUL with farmers in Australia. They will cheat you on money, and have a well deserved reputation as opportunistic rapists.
Be very careful who you’re tarring with that brush :(
