Back to PackEvery visa day, counted.
Back to Pack finds you specified work in Australia, counts every shift towards your second or third year, and shows you who's good to work for.
Free for backpackers. Works on any phone, even out of signal.
What it does
The stuff every backpacker ends up sorting out on scraps of paper and group chats, in one place.

Out on the boat or down the back paddock, tap in and tap out. It keeps your hours and times and catches up when you're back in range.
Start countingProof that holds up
Your boss signs off your days from a link each week. Payslips, hours and signed-off days sit together, ready for your visa application.
See how it worksKnow who's good before you go
Backpackers rate employers on whether they paid right, signed off days and kept people safe. Read it before you pack your bag.

Find a roomStart up north
Most backpackers do their days in the tropics. Up here bar, boat and farm work all count, and there's work most of the year.
Heads up about the ballotThe government has announced second and third year visas will move to a ballot. It isn't law yet and there's no start date. Specified work is still what gets you in, so your days still matter, and so does your proof.
Hiring backpackers?
Post a job free. Workers see straight away that it counts for their visa, and you see their logged days before you say yes.
