All Working Holiday Visa applicants need to apply for a TFN before they can start work in Australia. For details visit the Australian Taxation Office website, ato.gov.au. Apply to Department of Immigration and Citizenship Visitors and permanent migrants need authorisation from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to work in Australia. Applicants can register over the internet at immi.gov.au. If you live outside Australia, visit the Australian Taxation Office website, ato.gov.au. Ensure you have spare money You should have enough money to live on until you receive your first pay. Open a bank account If you’re planning to stay and work here for a while, it’s a good idea to open a bank account within six weeks of your arrival. Advise your bank of your tax file number to avoid higher rates of taxation on interest earned. Bring suitable work clothes Save money by packing suitable work attire before you leave home. Make sure you have sufficient insurance and health cover Ensure you have the necessary insurance and health cover before any travel to avoid any unexpected costs. ✓ ✓ ✓ To find out more For everything you need to know about Western Australia visit the official travel and tourism website westernaustralia.com.
