15 September 2006, Victoria, Australia--- Incidental Employment. Does that sound nifty or what? As if, finally, fate and chance have favored you to find that elusive job. But with Australia's working holidaymaker scheme, that's exactly what you are entitled to.

If your visa qualifies for Australia and you're all set to go, then that's good. But wouldn't it be great too if you could earn money while you're at it? With the working holidaymaker scheme, you have the opportunity to apply for any temporary or casual jobs in Australia, whether it's in the field of accountancy, IT, computing, or nursing. And the neat part is, as stipulated in Australian awards and conditions, you will get paid the same rate as any regular Australian employee doing your job.

But work? Not exactly the kind of vacation you're looking for in the land down under, you might say. But it's actually a great way to know the country's people and culture and at the same time make a decent living. And considering the fact that Australia is home to countless immigrants from all over the world, you know you're never lost.

Australia is open particularly to young and dynamic people aged 18 to 30 who apply for a holiday visa. Currently, there are 19 reciprocal member countries in the working holiday scheme, but everyday the list gets updated as more and more skilled workers troop to the land, incidentally, down under.
