Find a job in Australia

The best way to find a job in Australia is contacting the nearest local Centrelink agency. Each agency offers a wide range of job offers and useful tips for your search. Useful links to recruitment agencies are also available at centrelink.gov.au.

Don’t hesitate to consult the "Australian Employment Guide" online that offers hints and tips for your search as well as good advice about how to write an Australian CV.

Register with staffing agencies like Adecco or Manpower and don't hesitate to submit copies of your CV!

 Remember:

The first thing to do upon arrival is applying for your personal identification number at the Australian Taxation Office. Getting your personal Tax File Number (TFN) is compulsory if you need to pay tax or if you wish to enrol in the public healthcare system. To get your personal Tax File Number, please visit the immigration website at  http://www.immi.gov.au/ or the Australian Taxation Office’ website at http://www.ato.gov.au/.
