The site helps connect backpackers and employers in a wide range of industries from agriculture, construction, hospitality, to sales and marketing. Furthermore, the site also benefits small businesses, hobby farms and busy families through cultural help exchange opportunities, au-pair jobs and voluntary positions.

In response to the 2019/20 Australian bushfire crisis, Backpacker Job Board offered support to those towns affected.
