If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing life overseas, gaining international work experience, and collecting stories you can tell for the rest of your life, Australia’s Work and Holiday Visa (WHV) might be the perfect start.
This visa is designed for young adults aged 18–30 years who want to:
Live in Australia for a full year
Work part-time or full-time to gain experience (and savings!)
Explore modern cities like Sydney and Melbourne, or stunning natural wonders like Great Ocean Road and Uluru
But before you pack your bags, there’s something crucial you need to do:
👉 Plan your budget and prepare your documents properly.
Many WHV applicants fail or return home early—not because they don’t enjoy Australia, but because they run out of money or weren’t financially prepared.
Interlace Studies Bali can help you create a personalized WHV budget simulation based on your target city (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and more).

Imagine: one year of working, traveling, and living in Australia — from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, to the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru.

Yes, the costs may look high — but every rupiah you spend is a step toward new opportunities.
