The Team and Working Holiday Makers - WHM Visa
At Bimbi Park, we’ve had fantastic local staff and had the pleasure of hosting many working holiday staff over the years, helping them complete the 88-day requirement for their Working Holiday (WHM) Visa. Completing your days with us is a great way to qualify for a second WHM visa. We provide free accommodation, access to a car, a competitive hourly rate, and superannuation payments. If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please contact Kat or Sophie at reception.
