Why Australia?
Possibility to work legally
Anyone who has a student visa can work legally. This, plus a good knowledge of the language and any other additional skills means that you can find work in an office, hotel reception, restaurants or pubs, supermarkets or doing child minding, cleaning offices or delivering pizzas.
Low living costs
Australia is one of the few countries in the world where students can support themselves financially. Although during the academic year students can work only a limited number of hours they have the right to work fulltime during vacation time. They can save money which will help them through the next stage of their studies.
Active rest
There are many ways to unwind actively in Australia. The coastal location of towns, the ideal weather as well as the nation?s predisposition to sport means that almost every Australian tries to spend their free time actively outdoors. Australia is first and foremost a paradise for beach lovers, divers and surfers.
Safety
