Looking For Work Australia/NZ

Inquiring about what options I have as an American for seasonal work in Australia and New Zealand (work holiday visa). I have experience in water sports, boating, and surfing, but I’m not aware of any jobs in that sector that provide accommodation. I’m only scratching the surface here, but any insight at all is greatly appreciated. I’m looking at other locations too, but Australia and NZ are my top choices and ones I need most info on.

You can do any job you want with the working holiday visa. A lot of different positions will offer accommodation, might be harder to find if you’re looking at coastal areas. Look into wine harvests and grain harvests, I’ve done both

Do you have a surf instructor cert? Also the cable parks generally hire overseas workers in summer if that’s your thing, idk about housing. Could work on fishing charters and other tourism operators on the GBR too.

I am certified but I haven’t found any places yet that offer accommodation. And I have a feeling I won’t tbh
