Talk to your accountant about getting your own ABN number, easy to do online. A lot of employers looking for casual workers prefer those with their own abn. Saves them super, workers comp etc, which allows them to pay a higher casual rate. Benefit to you, possible claim work clothing, tools of trade etc. Again talk to you accountant.
We plan on heading off in May to travel, work and house sit for 12-24 months.
Do I need a superannuation account for employers to pay into if I pick up work while travelling?
Cheers

We work, and house sit, as we travel. We have a super account for employers to pay into, and also have an ABN for those that don't want to put you on the books, then we pay our own tax and super.

Working as a contractor using an ABN has significant tax benefits for the worker.
You can claim the cost of running your vehicle to and from work, safety gear, part of your internet and computer costs, mobile phone etc etc.
A real win for the worker.
