When you arrive in Australia, we’ll have booked the first two nights in a hostel for you. Our partner office is very near to the hostel and specialises in supporting our PractiGo participants. You will receive help acquiring a tax number and a bank account and then you will be able to look for a job in our extensive job portal.
Different seminars are available where you can compare notes with other participants. All of this information will help you to find your feet quickly. In this way you can get started straight away and you will always have a contact (24 hour emergency phoneline included). You can use the services of our partner office during your entire stay. Further extras are: a sim card with $10 of credit to start with, as well as a youth hostel card.
