New Zealand has been voted best backpacker destination by Lonely Planet writers two years in a row. What are you waiting for? This is the place to be. Backpacking around New Zealand is great – but coming here on a working holiday is greater! After running out of money after six weeks, five bungy jumps, four trips to the ski resorts, three dolphin trips, two sky dives and one glacier walk it’s good to know you can start work tomorrow in that cool little café in Wellington, Queenstown or Kaikoura.

The Work New Zealand program is designed to help you settle in to New Zealand, be here for you when you need help and keep you up to date with what’s happening around the country – before it happens. Very importantly, we offer loads of advice and support so you can find work around the country.
