    So far my working holiday in Australia has been amazing. I had a shuttle pick me up from the airport right away and took me to the hostel. The beach is amazing and very close to Budds Hostel. I recommend doing the big night out on Wednesday or Saturday. It's a great way to meet new people when you first arrive. My second day here was great. Walked down the beach, and did some shopping. I went to the orientation to set up my sim card and TFN. The Global Work and travel team was very helpful!

    The staff at Global have been very pleasant from start to finish, they were always happy to answer questions and make suggestions. I found the sales techniques for flights and insurance to be slightly aggressive, but once turned down our choice was accepted and we were offered advice whenever possible. Whilst the overall experience was a good one, I do feel the price is a bit steep for what you receive. The trip coordinator Anna has been very chirpy and pleasant to work with.

The orientation is on the second day and is very informative. The only thing is if I don't know if I will like the gold coast and I have to make a commitment of at least 4 months and that there are no job opportunities outside of Surfers paradise.

    I initially registered my interest about 10 months before my planned trip to Australia and was very keen to be organised about the whole affair since it was the beginning of a trip around the world! I was called up almost immediately by a very pushy phone operator who promised me amazing things that Global could do for me such as finding me a job and helping me with accommodation! This all sounded amazing and he preyed on my naivety (since I had never done a trip of this magnitude) by saying that it is pretty difficult to find jobs during the summer for Sydney. THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. After I had paid my NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of £300 which they pushed me to pay by promising a £50 Amazon voucher if I did it before Christmas, it was really all in from there.

    I had already stated that I wanted to buy my own flights and my own insurance but nevertheless they attempted to sell me extortionately priced flights and extortionately high insurance. FYI I managed to get a round the world ticket with STA for £1500 which was almost the same price as the one flight they were going to get me... and insurance for a whole year for half the price of the one for 6 months they had found me.

    Nonetheless I was not yet suspicious until they told me to change my flight from Sydney to Brisbane since they are based in the Gold Coast. Stupidly, although I had told them my plan was to work in Sydney, I assumed they would provide some sort of transport up to Sydney for me....nope. I then had to buy a flight for £50 from Gold Coast to Sydney as an extra to the over £1000 they had already charged me. I came to Australia completely disillusioned with their process and with no confidence that they could get me the job I wanted...which they didn't. They claim they have connections around the country but they don't. Despite wanting to work in Sydney the opportunity at a mall in West Sydney was awful and even the woman hiring agreed it wouldn't be a good location for me. In response my travel coordinator basically said 'well in Sydney they prefer you to come in person so we can't really help with that.'

    If you are lucky you get a decent job, but most have to find their own. If you are happy with your £1300 buying you a 4 day hostel stay, a sim for one month, and help with a bank account set up, then Global is for you. However, if you want help finding a job I would save your breath. They promise you so much and provide so little so please save your money and take my warning!

    Hi Ismay,

    We're very saddened to receive this review and very sorry that you feel this way about your experience with us. Our Work & Travel Experts are very knowledgeable in their field and were simply trying to assist you with your first big overseas work and travel trip. As I'm sure you can understand, Sydney is an extremely popular destination for many travellers who come to Australia to work and travel and can be very costly, however we still have job opportunities in Sydney for our travellers who wish to be in this location as long as they are open-minded on their job type and we have enough planning time with them.

    In terms of flights, we do not force our customers to book these through us. We do recommend it though and offer the service as a way to save our customers stress and time, to ensure they arrive at the right place at the right time, and to be able to provide flexibility in case something comes up that needs them to be changed, which online budget fares generally do not come with.

    We do not advertise nor do we state that we provide transfers to all of our job opportunities located in Australia. Every traveller must attend their arrival orientation on the Gold Coast to receive their welcome pack with sim card, activity inclusions, bank account and tax file number set up. Again this is another reason why we advise customers to book their flights through us as we can ensure you fly into the right airport for your orientation. You were told in your first initial conversation with your Work & Travel Expert that your orientation is located on the Gold Coast, however, you booked your flight to arrive in Melbourne. When our team were made aware of this we asked you to change them to arrive into Brisbane in order to attend your orientation and meet a number of other travellers arriving at the same time.

    When you first registered with us, you were deciding between our Working Holiday in Australia trip and our Internship in the USA trip. Our team discussed all of the specifics for each trip and at the end of January 2019, you made the decision to commit to the Working Holiday in Australia trip. You had your introduction call with our team who secure your job opportunities on February 7th, where you communicated that you were open-minded about the location and job type.

    Three weeks before your arrival, you advised our team that you had only ever wanted to be considered for opportunities in Sydney and you were not open to locations. It is clear that we are unable to guarantee exact locations or job types, however, we were able to provide you with a job opportunity in Sydney as you desired within this short time frame with a partner organisation providing accommodation and a base in Sydney. Once you arrived, you advised us that the role was not for you and decided to make applications yourself in Bondi.

    We can see that you have not used all of your arrival inclusions such as the wildlife park pass or the open-top boat cruise while on the Gold Coast, the vouchers for the activities do not have an expiry date so you are welcome to still use these at any time when you are back on the Gold Coast.

    We are saddened that your experience did not meet your expectations, all of our other arrival inclusions are still available to you during your stay in Australia should you wish to take advantage of and use them.

    This company is charging way too much for equivocally nothing. Literally, if you go through Xploreasia, they will take you through all the steps and everything that you need to do anyway. This company literally sends you to Xploreasia, and all their templates come from there as well. They have not been helpful in teaching me anything about the area, or even the situation that I'm getting myself into. They keep saying that I'll learn from the next person, but the next person is Xploreasia. They charge you around $3,000, in 2019 at least, and then they keep adding fees on as you go.

    One of the biggest fees, was an extra $400 for a flight. I looked it up myself. It was the same flight and it had amenities that they wouldn't verify with me. They wouldn't even tell me what airline they were trying to book through for like 20 minutes of conversation. They were just trying to get more money out of me. When asked, they sent me a list of reasons why I should go through them, but none of the reasons made sense. They said that I should get travel insurance so that way if my flight gets canceled or delayed, I can get reimbursed and changed, but then they also want to charge $400 so that way they can do the same thing... They are peppy salespeople. They don't know the details of what they're selling though.

    Hi Will,

    We're sorry to hear you feel this way about your recent experience with us. As I'm sure you can understand, our in-country partners have templates which they require travellers to complete which have been approved by the schools as applications, which is why we pass these approved templates to our travellers to complete for a strong and quick application process to the schools in South Korea.

    We are saddened to hear that you feel our team and partner did not communicate well with you about the trip. You were told all of the trip inclusions and possible school contracts that you have the option to engage in after successful completion of the TESOL. As the locations of schools vary across South Korea we can not provide any information on these areas until your placement has been confirmed. However, you booked our in-country TESOL course which as you are aware starts in Seoul.

    Our Teach Abroad trips provide you with the opportunity to teach English overseas, as well as connecting you with our in-country partner, Global Work & Travel provide dedicated pre-departure support, access to our 24/7 Emergency Line, plus many other inclusions which many are only offered exclusively through Global Work & Travel.

    In terms of flights, we do not force our customers to book these through us. We do recommend it though and offer the service as a way to save our customers stress and time, to ensure they arrive at the right place at the right time, and to be able to provide flexibility in case something comes up that needs them to be changed, which online budget fares generally do not come with. All of our trips require travellers to purchase travel insurance so we know you are safe and covered overseas if anything was to happen to you.

    We are disappointed that your experience so far did not meet your expectations and that you have chosen not to continue with the trip before even starting your TESOL and placement in South Korea.

    Worst company ever. Uses dodgy sales tactics to get your money then back tracks on promises and does very little actual work helping customers. Has been investigated for dodgy sales practices in the past and needs to be again. Have not actually met anyone who has said postive things about this company. All other fellow travellers I was with have quit their jobs and living situations arranged for them overseas. Do not use this company for a working holiday to the UK.

    We're very saddened to receive this review and very sorry that you feel this way about your experience with us. We understand that you felt you were told incorrect information upon booking your trip regarding securing a job opportunity in central London, however, our team reviewed the phone call recording between yourself and the rep to find this was never discussed. You were then offered a great ‘live in’ position that you happily accepted outside of London.

    Our team checked in with you shortly after starting your job opportunity to which you responded you were not enjoying the job, our team replied offering support and to help resolve why you were not enjoying your role, to which you responded saying you had a family emergency arise and you had to leave as soon as possible and it did not have anything to do with not liking the job and location.

    Our team have worked hard to try and resolve your frustrations and supported you throughout your entire trip. We have delivered on every part of the trip and provided you with all the trip inclusions.

    Over our many review platforms, we are proud to have 10,000+ 4 & 5-star reviews from happy customers who have been extremely satisfied with our trips and service.

    I don't have a single bad word to say about my experience with the Global Work and Travel Co thus far. From start to finish everyone has been so friendly, helpful and informative. I'd specifically like to give a shoutout to Dylan who is my Travel Concierge. From the beginning he has been responsive and informative and has been very helpful when it came down to me selecting travel insurance and my flights. I am very indecisive and panic about committing to things (especially when they are as important and expensive as these!) and there have been some circumstances where for example, I myself found cheaper flights that did not come with the support I would get by purchasing through Global.

    I was naturally hesitant however Dylan explained to me the pros and cons for each side of the argument and put my mind at ease regarding any flight delays (fingers crossed they don't happen!) transfers etc which are all things we don't want to be worrying about on our travels. I've not once felt pressured to automatically select the options Dylan has suggested to me and when it came to travel insurance for example I picked my own, yet with the flights I purchased through Global for the peace of mind more than anything.

    Overall I am very happy with my experience and hope it continues to be this great up until I fly to Brisbane next February. There is always a friendly voice down the phone to answer any questions no matter how silly they may seem, I know for a fact I have probably been one annoying customer at times haha but I have always ended my communications satisfied. I would 100% recommend the Global Work and Travel Co to anyone who is wanting to travel but is a bit scared to do so as the support is incredible.

    The initial phone call to offer "information" on this travel experience was filled with pressure to "pay now or you will lose your chance." I was not offered additional information on fees and the series of events in order to travel to Australia until I paid a few thousand dollars. You pay an initial fee of $1800, you then pay another $900-$1600 for insurance, $300-400 for a visa (which I knew to expect) an additional couple thousand for airfare and all of these things are paid before you even secure a job.

    I wish that this series of events wasn't so secretive and that more information was disclosed in the beginning, but then again, most people probably wouldn't go through this company if they knew how much everything would cost. There is no lost of partnering organizations so you can research companies that you may want to work for and prepare yourself for an interview. I am about 2 months away from landing in Australia and still do not have any leads on jobs. It's terrifying to pay all of this money to travel on a work visa and hear that 2 weeks before your trip, you will start scheduling interviews.

    I have read many bad reviews about Global Work & Travel (GWAT) but here is my personal experience...real talk. They have been absolutely wonderful so far. My move to Canada isn't until October/November 2020 (I will be moving for 2 years) and they have already been extremely attentive. My trip and arrival coordinator's are so lovely and I have been able to have a Skype call with my arrival coordinator to discuss where I would like to be located and what job roles interest me.

    I do note that when I first inquired with GWAT they were quite pushy about me putting down a deposit but you do need to understand that this is their job and they have hundreds of calls a day to attend to and will prioritise those who put down their deposits. They don't want to be messed around when there are other customers who are ready and interested. I think I ended up paying a total of $1800 to GWAT. This seems like a lot of money to be forking out but if you sit down and think about how much you are getting covered for, it is an amazing price that I would pay again in a heartbeat. What GWAT has done for me:

    - assisting me with my visa process;
    - helping me set up my bank account upon arrival in Canada;
    - helping me set up my SIN Number upon arrival in Canada;
    - 24/7 support when I am over in Canada;
    - helping me find a job before I move;
    - helping me with accommodation before I move;
    - 2 day orientation upon arrival in Canada;
    - 2 free nights accommodation at a hostel upon arrival in Canada;
    - season ski pass (depending on job);
    - $60 voucher for sim card upon arrival in Canada; and
    - When I paid for my trip in full GWAT were doing a deal if I paid in full there and then I would get two free nights accommodation anywhere in America (3 star)

    covered by them.

    These are most of the things covered with the initial $1800 I paid (not including everything) and as you can see already it is well worth your money. Not only do I feel safer going through this company but I know that if I am ever stuck I will always have the 24/7 support. Another benefit is that if I ever want to move location or change jobs (within reason) GWAT will help assist me and I won't need to worry about organizing it by myself.

    The only thing I would have to be negative about with GWAT is the price of travel insurance through them, it is very expensive. I have been quoted $7,376.82 for my 2 years over in Canada. This to me seems very extreme as I do travel a lot myself and know a lot about travel insurance. In saying that, you can understand that it will be reliable as it covers you for absolutely everything with no excess (including snow-sports). I have looked into travel insurance myself and it looks like it will cost me around $2,500 with $300 excess for my 2 years in Canada. I hope this information is helpful and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask me. I promise you GWAT is worth it and is not a scam.

    Our travel journey took, roughly, a year to fully finalise and finish. We had a couple different co-ordinators throughout the planning whom were all super helpful and supportive! The time difference between countries was hard to work around but with constant e-mails and fast response times, you can hardly notice. If, like me, you turn to reviews before finally booking something, I would say my top advice is to give yourselves a good year to plan everything and just GO FOR IT. The Global Work and Travel team help you through everything along the way and even continue with their support after you have arrived at your destination. Definitely 10/10 recommend.

    From the moment I arrived in Australia, things have been taking a turn for the worst. I have worked for a whole year to save up for this trip to still not have enough. When first heard of Global Work and Travel, they had told me I need 5,000 USD to enter the country. When I did not have enough they told me to borrow the money from family members and other people to get into the country faster. When I arrived to Australia they were not much help and could not get me to where I needed to be without having to reach them fast enough. When I first got to Australia I could not get my money until 2 days later which meant I had to starve for 2 days without eating. When I finally had my orientation they told me they would help and more, that they would be here 24/7 but they lied. I had to live for myself by finding apartments, finding jobs by myself which I turned out to be unsuccessful.

    I used all my money moving around house to house, job to job. Without getting paid. They make it seem like it's your fault when they present these horrible jobs towards you some which you don't even get paid for. My support team member name is Hanna and she is not much help but claims she does everything in her power to help. I've told her 10 times I'm starving out here and she's focused on what I've done by denying the jobs she's presented towards me. I've had the worst experience since I've been down here and I've only been down here for 4 weeks.

    What they don't tell you is if your jobs are 3 hours away, or even 4 hours away you have to pay for everything including flight cost and more. They make it seem like they will help assist you on your journey no matter what. But that's a lie. This company is a scam and they do not help. I still trying to figure out how I can go back home before I end up homeless in Australia. PLEASEEE read this before thinking about traveling with this company. Everything they tell you is what they have to, to make you feel comfortable enough to spend your hard earned money with them.

    Hi Patricia,

    We're sorry to hear you feel this way about your experience with us. We take negative feedback like this very seriously, as this goes against our core values and mission to provide a premium service.

    Upon investigation into this feedback, we are aware that you were offered your first job opportunity one month prior to your arrival in Australia. Following your interviews, your Trip Coordinator advised you to send the Hiring Manager of our partner organisation an email confirming your interest in the position. This was failed to be completed, so our partner did not move forward with hiring you.

    On the same day as your in-country orientation, another job opportunity was presented to you. However, you declined this as you wanted to be closer to the city.

    Three days after arrival, a third job opportunity was presented in the city, you attended this interview and were offered a job. You had expressed concerns about accommodation so we were in touch to offer accommodation assistance. Despite our efforts, you resigned one day later.

    One day after your resignation, you were presented with another job opportunity which offered live-in accommodation. You were successful in obtaining this job, however, decided after employment that you would not be living on-site, which was one of the job requirements, and you found your own accommodation.

    Since then, you have been provided with two additional job opportunities, one with staff accommodation and one without. However, we have heard no response.

    We understand you have decided to stay in Australia and we will continue to assist you with your job opportunities whilst you are here.

    We're very saddened to receive this review and very sorry that you feel this way about your experience with us.

Depending on the trip, these fill up especially quickly during peak periods, and on a first-in, first-served basis. Our reps were simply trying to save you any disappointment from missing out on a spot on our Trunks & Tails Rescue trip as it’s very popular.

    The cost of your volunteer trip is to fund all the trip inclusions, including a volunteer placement, pre-departure information pack, return airport transfers, accommodation for the duration of your placement, some meals, cultural activities, project supplies, ongoing support and much more.

    From the beginning of my trip to now which is a month until I depart (I'm so excited), there has been one person who has helped me with everything I needed along the way and I can't thank her enough. That person is Kerrie (she has been my trip coordinator supplied by GWAT), she has been my go to person for any questions, uncertainties and reassurance that I needed. She has simply been so caring and genuine. As she is an experienced world traveller she understands and can relate to how her clients are feeling before their trip. And provide them with good advice. If she ever reads this I would just like to thank you once more and wish you the best of luck in Australia. :)

My only negative point is regarding the sells, I was told the team could start looking for a job after my deposit, then I got told it would only be possible after the full payment, to finally get told it would only be possible after I purchase my flight to know when I would arrive.

The orientation was really informative and has allowed me to understand everything a lot more clearly and I know everything that I need to do before I leave for Melbourne which is great.

    Well where do I start with this Company. I inquired for my son and spoke with a guy Matt. In our conversation he asked if Calvyn (my son) had a criminal record or a DUI and I said yes he has had a DUI. I said ok. I will need to get the paperwork and we will not do anything until we know what the limit of the DUI is. However Matt spoke with Calvyn 2 days later using scare monger tactics, very pushy sales talk and told him he had to pay a deposit of $495. Unbeknown to me this happened and Matt knew fair well that we had come to the agreement of getting the DUI back so we knew where we were at. Not only did Matt want a deposit the next day Meghan phoned also wanting $1800 using words like, "You have to pay today or you won't make the October intake." So luckily I was in the room listening to this and jumped on the phone.

    Meghan also a very pushy sales person and I explained like I did with Matt re the DUI charge we cannot to anything until we get this back and he should of never taken the $495. Meghan continued on with me saying, "Oh but if you pay today we will sell it to you for $1700." By this stage I was getting very frustrated and felt I was being bullied. I said, "NO we won't be paying today" and ended the conversation.

    Today I phoned Matt asking for the deposit back. Matt said NO. Doesn't work like that. He was very rude. A very bad tone in his voice almost bullish. Apparently this deposit is non-refundable if people change their minds. $495NZ is a very high hourly rate for 2 phone calls. How is this company accredited by the way they conduct this business. They have very bad reviews on TripAdvisor from all sorts of people including staff that once worked for them. Everyone is saying the same thing about this company. They have NO morals or work ethic. Also you cannot speak to the CEO and whoever you get on the phone when you call they all seem to be General Managers. Mmm.

    Bad Company. There is a lot more to it than this I can't write too many pages, WARNING. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THEIR OWN STAFF HAVE MADE VERY BAD REVIEWS ON THEM. ABC News has reported on them. I'll attach the link https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-11/authorities-investigate-travel-company-accused-of-rip-offs/5883918

    Hi Leeann,

    Once again, we're sorry to hear you feel this way about your son's recent experience with us. We pride ourselves on providing a premium service to all of our customers, so we are disappointed to read this review because it greatly conflicts with Global's core values and direction. However, we do appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback, so we can continuously focus on improving our services & customer experience.

    After the first review you left our company on an alternative review platform, we investigated the matter instantly to ensure that we completely understood the entire process and series of events.

    Firstly, we reviewed the initial consultation with your son. Our Work & Travel Expert actually advised him not to book the trip until he provided us with further details of his DUI conviction to ensure he would be eligible for the Working Holiday visa. He then gave us the requested details about his DUI, which was enough to satisfy the requirements for the Working Holiday visa.

    Following this, our Work & Travel Expert thoroughly explained the trip in detail and guided him through the booking process once he decided to continue. Shortly after, your son was then contacted by his dedicated Trip Coordinator and, after your son expressed a strong desire to depart as early as this coming October. Our team went to work straight away by providing visa assistance and beginning the process of setting up his job opportunities & arrival services in Canada. Due to the popularity of our trips and limited spots available over busy periods, we work hard to ensure our customers’ demands are met and that they are not left disappointed.

    After reviewing the most recent conversation between yourself and Matt, our Working Holiday Department Manager, we are aware that he attempted to explain to you how far along in the process your son was with us, the next steps to be taken, along with the booking conditions of his deposit. These conditions were explained and agreed upon by your son at the time of booking.

    We do wish to help your son continue his journey to Canada and assist him in every way we can. As a worldwide leading gap-year company, backed by over 10 years of experience and 40,000 customers, please note that we take these type of matters very seriously and have looked into all the concerns you have mentioned. I hope the insight we have provided now offers some clarity and we hope to hear from your son again in the near future.

    Over our many review platforms, we are proud to have 10,000+ 4 & 5-star reviews from happy customers who have been extremely satisfied with our morals, work ethic and customer service.

    Kind regards,

    The Global Work & Travel Co.

    Honestly, when I started out on my adventure, I was absolutely clueless as to how to go about it. But the staff members’ patience with me has been phenomenal as they answered the randomest of questions. The only slight issues I had was the insistence on paying NOW and also not being told roughly how much the total trip would cost (passport, flights, insurance, Global itself... having a rough idea would have been great to know from the start). I would give four and a half stars if possible, but I think they’re closer to five than just four... Otherwise, they did a fantastic job of getting clueless, young, inexperienced me ready and thoroughly excited about my trip of a lifetime!!

    My partner and I signed up with Global a couple of years ago. We have been saving for our trip ever since our first interaction. We had complete faith in Global and had heard only great things. Unfortunately as our trip got closer and closer and we relied on Global more and more we became more dissatisfied with their service. I just want to point out that our trip coordinator Eimear was fantastic. Not faults there. We really struggled with getting our visas. We were sent a multiple page document on how to get them, however anytime we ran into a problem and couldn't locate the answer on the handout, we asked for help and we were referred to this document.

    I asked Global for some advice on doctors and specialist in the area we were moving to, only to be told they cannot help me with that. We paid a lot of money for their expertise so we were quite disappointed that time couldn't be put in to help us with something very important to us. Without knowing what the health care system was like in our country of choice we purchased a 12 month insurance plan each that cost over $2,000 for the year. Only to find out upon arrival that we are eligible for free health care in our new town. I would not have paid so much for insurance knowing I was covered. When it came time to interview for our jobs via Skype, the selected time we could not attend due to working full time. We were told if we did not attend the selected time then we won't be guaranteed another opportunity.

    We also wanted to source our own flights due to the cost quoted by Global for a flexible 1 way flight. We would told we may lose our included hostel nights and won't be assisted by Global if our chosen flight and job timing doesn't line up. You pay all this money and as soon as you wish to pick a cheaper alternative option, you are left with no support. I would like to hope assisting your current customers is more important than commission. I could go on for a while however the above is the main reason we are disappointed with global. We only hope our experience will improve throughout our journey and if that is the case I will adjust my review. Thanks again to Eimear who has been very helpful throughout our Global journey.
