Research Webinar: Backpacker Dispatches Report Launch

WHEN
October 23, 2025
6pm - 7pm
WHERE
Online

Join us for the launch of our latest research report, ‘Backpacker Dispatches’: Working Holiday Stories from Australia. 

Lead author Lea Knopf will reflect on her experiences as a Working Holiday Maker, as well as those of fellow workers she met, interviewed, and learned from along the way.

Lea will be joined by our own Sherry Haung, who first arrived in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa and is now completing her PhD on the working conditions of temporary migrant workers.

Together, they will discuss how participatory approaches can centre the voices of migrants. 

The launch will be an opportunity to hear first-hand accounts of life, work, and travel on a Working Holiday Visa, and to consider how these experiences can inform a fairer and more inclusive temporary migration program.
