Did you know Working Holiday Makers are the heartbeat of Seabean? 💛
These adventurous travellers join our local team every season, helping us deliver unforgettable tapas nights, keep up with busy periods, and welcome guests from all over the world to Port Douglas.
But right now, policy changes could mean fewer Working Holiday Makers in Australia—shorter stays, less flexibility, and a real risk to businesses like ours. Without their support, we may have to reduce hours during peak times, making it even harder to get through the quiet Wet Season.
We need your help! Let’s show the Australian Government how vital Working Holiday Makers are to our community and tourism industry. Please sign and share this petition to protect their visas and keep our doors open: https://www.change.org/p/protect-working-holiday-maker-backpacker-visas-in-australia
Together, we can keep Port Douglas vibrant and welcoming for everyone. Thank you for supporting local businesses! 🙏
