7 Reasons To Work Behind A Bar In Australia

Bar work is one of the most popular career paths in Australia. Here are seven reasons why you should consider working behind a bar while in Australia.

Contribute To Your Travel Fund

On an Australian Working Holiday and need to boost your travel fund? Bar work can pay great wages that you can spend on experiences like travelling up the East Coast in a campervan, exploring Australia’s islands or heading into the outback to see Uluru.

Earn Extra Money To Get Through Your Studies

If you’re attending a university in Australia, working behind a bar is a great way to get you through it financially. Whether you put your wages towards text books, new clothes, rent or paying off your loan, it can help lessen the burden of the cost of university.

Enjoy The Atmosphere And Have Money In Your Wallet

If you like the atmosphere of a good night out but don’t want to spend the cash, why not work behind a bar, listen to the music and have fun while making money instead of spending it?

Gain Experience In Hospitality

There’s so much you can do in hospitality in Australia if you have bar work experience. Improve your employability, work at events for extra money and apply for managerial roles to take your career further.

Meet New People

With all the people that you meet working behind a bar, if you didn’t know anyone when you came to Australia, you will do pretty soon after working at a bar!

Hospo Nights

Bar staff get great benefits at other venues including Hospo Nights: drinks deals, meal deals and full-on events just so you can let your hair down at a discount!

Travel With It

You don’t have to stay at one bar forever; you could move around Australia working in different regions and going wherever’s in peak season, especially if you’re on a Working Holiday Visa.

Before applying for bar work in Australia, you need to get your Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA). It’s required by law, but each state is different. If you’re going to be working in New South Wales, you can get your RSA by completing a one-day course with BarMax.
