Indu Klassen
ParticipantHi!
My name is Indu, I’ve travelled to Oz from Belgium 4 months ago and have been working around Sydney since I arrived. I’m planning to drive North somewhere between now and the end of April, and would like to find a farm work job that counts for my 2nd year visa. No wooffing, it needs to be a paid job, as I don’t need any accommodation because I live in my van. Ideally somewhere between Coffs Harbour and Byron Bay. I’m a hard worker, so it’d be great if it was a job where I get paid by the basket, but I’m not to picky about it either so any job offer is welcome :)
Anyone who has an address or recommendations or something? I’d be happy with any kind of information! Thanks a lot!!!Indu

ParticipantHi guys,
I’ll be driving from Sydney to Coffs Harbour.
This will probably be around the end of April, as I’m still waiting on some mail here. Give me a shout when you want to catch a ride and split the gas. I can take two people with me in the van :)Cheers! Indu

ParticipantMy partner and I are about to start travelling around Australia. We plan on starting in Bundaberg in about 3 weeks. I was just wondering if any other young Australian couples had travelled around berries and if they have had any trouble finding work? Any response would be much my appreciated.

ParticipantHi,
Have you worked for Eskander Alokaily in Gatton or Stanthorpe?
Have you received a PAYG summary, signed tax documents or received a real payslip?
Have you been mistreated, touched or assaulted?
Have you lived in a dirty place during your employment?
Have you injured yourself on a farm? (You could be entitled to workers compensation).We have been getting information together to help the Australian Government stamp out rotten businesses targeting backpackers.
So far, we have several ex-employees that have come forward with information relating to Tax Fraud, Immigration Fraud, Health violations and general assault/sexual assault. The work we are doing is still ongoing. Whilst we have enough information to gain prosecution and imprisonment of Eskander, we would really like to expose more before doing so.
If your complaint is about someone else, please tell us!
We have several files open regarding different businesses.This all started after a few backpackers alerted us to possible criminal activity. Once we looked further, we were shocked at what we found.
We can keep your privacy for as long as we legally can, should you wish to remain unidentified.
However, we need more people willing to testify in court. Can you help the next backpacker thinking about working in Australia?The news media has picked up one story. It is here:

Please email: safeworkingholiday@gmail.com
We don’t offer employment or accommodation, we are a group that believes backpackers should have the right to fair treatment.
Admin: If this somehow violates your rules, please contact us directly.

Ideally looking for work asap, any help would be welcome thanks.Louis Nokes
ParticipantHello, we are two British backpackers that are in need of work in Queensland, we both have experience in manual labor before and know what hard work is like. We are looking for any farm work possible. Currently we are living in Cairns but in a day or two we could be where ever you may need us. Both of us are looking to get our second year visa by doing the 88 days so we are definitely committed to some long term work. If you need more information on us we have CV’s ready to send to you.
