International Applicants

Do I need a visa?

Anyone working for Perisher must have the right to work legally in Australia. This means you will need a visa with work rights.

The most popular type of visa to work at Hotham for young adults is the 'Working Holiday Maker Visa' for those who want to extend a holiday and work in Australia to fund it.

For some skilled roles such as certified, experienced Snowsports Instructors, Groomers and Snowmakers we will support successful candidates that are not eligible for a WHV to gain a suitable work visa for Australia. The Talent Acquisition team will contact successful candidates that are foreign residents with further information.
