My daughter spent a year in Australia 4 or 5 years ago with her boyfriend. The system you describe does indeed exist, but it's frankly not far from slavery according to what she told me.
On the other hand, finding a job (not very qualified of course) for a few days (and also getting fired overnight!) was, as she told me, very easy. They came back delighted with this experience.
Well, they moved on to different things (maybe more serious? or at least their age) in France, I've been a Grandpa for about 18 months!
