Remember The southern hemisphere sun is much more intense than the northern hemisphere and you can do a lifetime of damage to your skin and eye's if you're not careful. In Australia, the term slip, slop, slap, has been coined to remind us about the sun's danger especially when working outside.
Western Australia
Western Australia is free of many plant and animal pest's and diseases and has strict border controls.
When travelling in Western Australia, or in fact any Australian State Beware of any service run by bureaucracy, both government or private. Government run services are probably the worst but the rule of thumb when dealing with any business run by functionaries i.e. not owner operated, is, it's generally going to be a "f... up", (Scuse my french). Click here for an example of what we are alerting you to.
Beware, dodgy employers, worker hostels and bogus employment agents ... but don't let yourself become too paranoid either
Employment Agencies are not only required to be licenced but also to follow strict procedures including disclosure of all details of the employment being offered including employers name
Beware of misleading or outdated work information.
The biggest source of misinformation concerning Working Holiday Jobs often comes from other travellers, but some traveller websites offering work information can also be woefully out of date
Buyer beware
Don't get 'sucked in' to buy things you don't need ...

Superannuation Fraud Australia
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is investigating the collapse of Australian Fiduciaries Ltd, along with its associated entities, amid serious concerns over the management of investor funds. ASIC has taken steps to appoint receivers to preserve assets and conduct a forensic review of the company’s financial activities. The inquiry also involves Apex Fund Services Ltd, the fund’s independent administrator, and the role it played in overseeing transactions. Central to the investigation is Director Lee Rushton, whose conduct and potential breaches of corporate and financial law are under scrutiny as regulators work to determine the extent of investor losses and any possible misconduct.
