Having a part-time job is a great way to improve your English, make friends and earn some extra pocket money for that trip of a lifetime around Australia at the end of your course.

Look at it as an investment – spend anything up to your first 4 months perfecting your English, take part in our free Lexis Work Shop program, find your first job on the school blog and you set yourself up for the best year and some of the most memorable experiences of your life.

When it’s time to move on, Lexis Explore can help you plan your travel around Australia - you might even decide that you want to visit another of our great study and work locations.

To learn more about the WHV program and to check whether you are eligible to participate, please refer to www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday
