Liam from Manchester — Construction Worker

"I never thought I’d be pouring concrete in a place called Dunedoo, but here I am — earning good money, with the beach just two hours away."
Liam came to Australia looking for a fresh start and a big paycheck. He had zero certificates, didn’t know what a White Card was, and had never used a power tool.

WATIPI guided him through the entire process — from course enrolments to job interviews — and helped him land a full-time role on a local crew.
"Now I’ve got savings, a motorbike, and a bunch of tradie mates. Best decision I’ve ever made."

Sophie from France — Receptionist in a Small Town Hotel

"I came for the experience — I stayed for the people."
Sophie found herself in Bellingen, working as a receptionist in a cozy countryside hotel.
She wanted to improve her English and gain experience in tourism.

WATIPI placed her, helped with accommodation, and gave her confidence.
"The locals here talk to you like you’re family. I used to be shy, but now I chat with guests, give hiking tips, and I even hosted a trivia night!"

Emily from Poland — Kitchen Hand in a Mexican Restaurant

"I wanted warmth, tacos, and a life outside the ordinary. I got all three."
Emily ended up in Wingham, working in the kitchen of a cheerful little Mexican joint. She knew her way around a frying pan but had no idea how to find work abroad.

WATIPI connected her with the restaurant, helped her get her visa sorted, and found her a cozy shared flat 5 minutes away.
"It’s not just a job — I’ve made friends from Brazil, Nepal, and Byron Bay. And I’ve learned to make the best guacamole in Australia."

Carlos from Brazil — Bartender in a Nightclub

"I wanted music, fun, and English practice. I got all three — and tips."
Carlos landed a job at a lively nightclub in Muswellbrook, mixing drinks and making new friends every night.

WATIPI prepped his CV, coached him for the interview, and helped him secure RSA certification.
"Now I work 4 nights a week, surf in the mornings, and my English has gone from OK to pretty damn good. Also, the locals love a Margaritas."
