Join WorkinOz for FREE
Working Holiday Makers and Student Visa holders:
When you received your Tax File Number (TFN), all of your details were stored by The Australian Government in a Mygov account specific to you.
You can gain access to this account through the Mygov website.
Here you can:
View the records of all of your income during your stay in Oz.
See how much tax you have paid during this time and lodge your own tax return for free.
See how much superannuation you have received during this time. This will give you an indication of how much super you can claim back when you leave Oz.
Register with Jobsearch Australia and Harvest trail to help you get work. This service will notify you of available jobs.
Why join WorkinOz?
It’s FREE to join
We link you to Mygov. Here you can register to view your account and register for work in the JOBSEARCH section.
This will help you get work. It even registers you with Harvest trail so you will know where the fruit picking is happening in Oz.
As a member of WorkinOz you will receive discounts from Australia’s leading leisure activity discounter, EXPERIENCEOZ. Check out the site, these guys have discounts for everything from burger deals in BYRON BAY to bungee jumping in NEW ZEALAND. Yes, being a WorkinOz member will give you discounts even after you have left Oz and gone to NZ.
YOU HAVE TO BE A LOGGED IN MEMBER TO GET THE DISCOUNT.
TAX TIME. If you have the time, patience and expertise you can lodge your own tax return from your MyGov page. If accounting is not your specialty all you have to do is log into your WorkinOz members area and click on the Beachcombing Accounting and Finance Logo. This will open an email ready to send to the accountant with your details in it. All you have to do is hit send. From there you will be in the hands of the professionals who will contact you personally asking for more information such as your Tax File Number etc. YOU MUST BE A LOGGED IN MEMBER TO ACCESS THIS.
Superannuation. Have only ONE super account and use it for every job. When you access your Mygov account you can see for yourself what your super balance is. You can claim the DASP (Departing Australia Super Payment) yourself online when your visa has expired and you have left Oz. There are however a couple of thing to remember:
You are claiming the super from the fund NOT the tax department.
You have to complete the claim form and send it to the Super fund that is holding your money. This is a SIX page document. If you have five different funds you will have to complete five different claim forms and send them to each super fund. Having ONE super account will make the process much easier.
If paperwork is not your thing, LOG INTO WORKINOZ and click on the Beachcombing Accounting and Finance logo and send the prefilled email. Beachcombing tax and super professionals will contact you and start the process of claiming your super for you. YOU MUST BE A LOGGED IN MEMBER TO ACCESS THIS.
HOT TIP. Use the super fund with the bank you are with. That way all of your details are in one spot. ALL banks have low fee super funds. We suggest BENDIGO BANK, if you don’t have one. They are the 5th biggest retail bank in OZ and give back to their community. Their bank account app will show you your bank AND super balance if you have account with them.
2nd year visa. Nearly 20% of Working Holiday Makers apply for a 2nd year visa. We have teamed up with the leaders in this field. Go to details to find out more.
