Internet for a working holiday in Australia should support arrival, job searching, accommodation and later workplace needs. A travel eSIM gives immediate data, while a local SIM may become useful when employers or services expect an Australian number.
Do not commit to a year-long solution before the first work location and routine are known.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only, without a local number or traditional calls and SMS.
Quick answer: Start with a long-validity eSIM for arrival and hotspot backup, then add or switch to local prepaid service if work and daily life require an Australian number.

Know when a local number helps
A local SIM may simplify employer calls and everyday services. Review local SIM versus eSIM.
Prepare for regional work

Configure the eSIM
Select it for data, follow its roaming instruction and use data.esim where required. Do not delete the profile unless support directs you.
