About pearling jobs
Pearling and aquaculture jobs in Australia centre on the far north, around Broome and Darwin, with the main season from April to October. Many roles are based on or near the water.
Where the work is
Broome in Western Australia is the centre of the Australian pearling industry, with Darwin in the Northern Territory also a hub. Roles run both onshore and aboard vessels.
The work
Jobs include deckhands, farm hands tending the pearl shell, and onshore processing. Boat-based roles often mean living aboard for stretches, with meals and accommodation provided. Some marine roles need tickets or experience.
Note that pearling counts as specified work for a visa only in certain cases. Check the rules in our 88 days guide first.
