If you plan only to work in fruit picking – English is no problem but if you plan to work in the city then you are only likely to get a job in a cafe where English speaking and understanding is critical.

If you didn’t know this already, Australia is an English speaking country….you need it to be able to communicate with others

In my experience, it isnt essential. Especially if you are asian (chinese, japanese, vietnamese) because you can go into a shop or restaurant run by someone of the same ethnicity and they are more likely to hire you than a white person. You can give it a go, but poor english skills will make it hard. Its possible, but very very difficult.
