The live database

Regional work across Australia. One directory.

Employer directory entries mapped across Australia. A listing does not mean a business is currently hiring or guarantee that a role counts as specified work.

A network of employer directory entries across Australia
Three per industry, free
Free accounts can browse up to three employer listings in each industry, in every Australian state.
Coast to coast
Explore directory entries across every state and compare locations for the 417 and 462 visa programs.
Check before you apply
An ABN match confirms registered business details. Ask the employer about current vacancies and whether a role meets your visa rules.
Why we built it

Built to help you finish your days.

We did our specified work ourselves, then built The 88th Day to make it easier for the next backpacker. Find work, explore places to stay, track your days and keep your payslips together.

For backpackers

Use the free calculator, read the Farm Guide and keep your days and payslips together. The directory has no region lock: free accounts see up to three employers per industry in every state. Premium opens the remaining entries, available contact details, live-job applications and advanced tracking.
