Yes. Your employer must also pay 12% of your wages into your super account — this applies to working holiday makers too, however much you earn.

Online reviews and past workers' experiences

Compiled from Indeed, Glassdoor, backpacker blogs and the news. Everything is a paraphrased summary — follow the links to read the originals.

No ratings, past workers' accounts or public records were found. The web search quota ran out partway through this time, and Indeed and Glassdoor were not read because of their robots rules, so the review search is incomplete.

Review summary last checked: 2026-10-07. Online reviews are personal experiences and may be out of date or not reflect the whole picture; ratings change over time, so the original sites prevail.
