11 websites for 88-day jobs in Australia

Start with SEEK if you want to compare advertised roles across towns and industries. Search by role and location, then read each employer’s requirements before applying through SEEK or an external application site. Your resume profile and supporting documents follow the route the employer uses.

Its strength is seeing what an employer is recruiting for, rather than starting with a contact list. You still make each application yourself, and an “88 days” search result needs checking against your visa’s specified-work rules. Use it alongside direct outreach when you want both advertised vacancies and employer enquiries.

Use local Facebook groups when you want leads and conversations tied to a town, hostel or work community. Read the post, check who is advertising and follow their instructions: that may mean Messenger, an email or an external application link. Provide your CV through the requested route.

Groups can give you local context and a place to ask practical questions before travelling. Each post stands on its own, though; a group name or a comment does not verify the employer, role or visa eligibility. Confirm the duties, pay and location directly with the employer before making plans around a post.

Add Indeed when you want another place to search advertised roles by industry and location. Some listings accept applications on Indeed; others send you to the employer’s site. Use your Indeed profile or upload a CV, then follow the requirements of that application route.

For applications on Indeed, employers see an Indeed email alias. Replies reach Indeed Messages and your email inbox, so check both as you follow up. This is useful if you prefer applying to a published role, but it is a different workflow from sending applications through your own Gmail. Indeed has also tested Apply For Me in the US; its August update paused the automatic mode. Availability for Australian WHV searches wasn’t established. Read the listing rather than assuming a regional job counts for your visa.

Choose Backpacker Job Board if you want advertised vacancies aimed at backpackers and working-holiday travellers. Its second-year visa jobs section gives you a focused starting point. Create a job-seeker account, add your resume and apply through the website or app.

Employers for jobs you apply to can view your profile and resume, then contact you directly by email or phone. Keep your profile current as you move towns or change availability. The traveller focus is useful, but a listing in a visa-related category still needs a duties and postcode check. Treat it as a source of vacancies, then assess the individual job.

Use Farm Work Australia when agricultural work is your main target. Browse the vacancies and apply directly using the employer’s contact details or instructions in each listing. Its FAQ says no account is required, so you can begin with the listing and provide your CV through the route the employer requests.

The focused subject matter makes it a useful place to look for farm roles without searching a general job board first. You manage each enquiry and follow-up yourself. Check the actual duties, location, dates and working arrangements with the employer; a farm-work label alone does not settle whether a job meets your visa’s rules.

Consider My88DayJobs if you want to browse employer contacts and listed jobs, then send email batches yourself. The public frontend we inspected opens a draft in your mail app with up to 40 recipients in BCC and a shared subject and message. You add your CV and send the batch from your chosen email account.

That removes some address copying while leaving you in control of the draft. It also means you prepare and send each batch manually. A scheduled daily send is not stated in the inspected workflow. Choose it for that mail-app workflow; see the difference below if you want separate applications sent each day after setup.

Look at The 88th Day if you want employer discovery and live job listings alongside tools for recording your work days and payslips. Its public product page describes a directory, jobs and tracking features, giving travellers a reason to keep using it after they find work.

For the search itself, contact directory employers or follow the live-job application route. The sources we checked do not explain a scheduled daily application service or detailed CV handling. Its distinguishing feature is the connection between finding work and keeping records. Keep the underlying documents and check the visa rules yourself; a tracker is not an eligibility decision.

Use 88days.work when you want employer contact details and prefer to make enquiries yourself. The directory’s workflow is to call, text or email employers directly. You choose the channel, write the message and provide your CV to the employer as needed.

That can suit someone who wants a conversation before sending a formal application, or who prefers to control each contact individually. The work of preparing, sending and following up stays with you. A directory entry is a starting point for an enquiry, not confirmation that a role is open. Ask about vacancies and the work involved before treating a contact as a job lead.

Back4Work advertises personalised email campaigns to farm employers, including a CV and cover letter. Its advertised copy says replies use the applicant’s address. If you want help with farm outreach rather than individual vacancy applications, those are the features to ask about.

We could review the official page’s indexed copy, but its directly fetched page did not expose the sending workflow. We have not tested a campaign. The sender account and daily schedule are not stated in the material we checked. Before choosing it, ask how messages are sent, what you approve and where replies arrive. These are advertised features, rather than independently verified sending results.

Consider MLKA if you want recruiter support for regional, remote or live-in hospitality work. Upload or email your CV to MLKA rather than starting with a list of employer addresses. Its job-seeker page says your CV is forwarded to an employer only with your approval.

The recruiter is an intermediary, which can suit travellers looking for help discussing a particular role. Your enquiries and CV first go to MLKA; this is a different process from applying directly to every employer yourself. Ask which roles match your experience, availability and accommodation needs, then check any proposed job against your own visa conditions before accepting.
