SWAP Australia

Welcome to the Land of Oz: the Great Barrier Reef, Ayer's Rock, the Blue Mountains, the rainforest, the desert, and sandy beaches. SWAP Australia is one of our more popular programmes. Go for it, Mates!

Most participants will end up working all over Australia which allows them to get to know this diverse land. Many SWAPPERs are employed in the very large tourism industry on the east coast, and some remain in the larger cities and earn excellent wages in clerical/office jobs.

We now offer individual departures all year round, except on the weeks we have scheduled group departures in the fall. Upon arrival in Sydney, you are transferred from the airport to your hostel. You can join the orientation the day after your arrival and receive the same great services that our group arrivals receive.
