We are proud to be able to provide employment opportunities for individuals from overseas.

We have the ability to organise an appropriate visa that will allow successful overseas applicants to live and work with us for up to 4 years. It is important to note the successful candidate must provide commitment to us for at least a one year period.

Successful applicants will need to organise their documents and application at the Australian Consulate in their country. We will assist with this process and provide guidance with regard to which forms to complete. These will differ dependent on the type of visa that best suits the individual's role with Outward Bound.

The personal costs in relation to the visa are to be covered by the applicant.

Currently the visa subclasses we utilise are:

  • Student Visa (for the Internship only)
  • Occupational Trainee Visa (1 year)
  • Temporary Business Visa, subclass 457 (1 - 4 years)
