Working holidays in Sydney and NSW

With more than 124 nationalities and hundreds of different languages spoken, NSW is a destination that welcomes visitors from around the world.

The State offers the best of both worlds - a mix of friendly, cosmopolitan city life and countryside which has charming villages and towns offering a slower pace of life.

Sydney itself is not just a holiday destination - it's also a great place to live and work. This exciting city of 4.3 million people combines a buzzing lifestyle with great education and business opportunities.

Famous for being home to the World Heritage-listed Sydney Opera House, Sydney has long been voted one of the world’s 'best cities' by readers of international travel and business magazines.

Its nightlife and reputation for ‘hosting a great party’ is evident most nights of the week with live entertainment, nightclubs, hip bars and cool restaurants.

Sydney has an additional rare quality for a world city - it's surrounded by  national parks and green spaces as well as having a vast blue harbour that forms part of Sydney Harbour National Park. Nearby is the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, just 90-minutes drive from the city.
