Farm Work
We provide assistance in finding you work however there are no guarantees of finding work. Farm work is seasonal; the number of jobs available and work continuity depends largely on the weather & market produce prices. All farm work is physically hard, often long hours and in all weather so be prepared!
There are all sorts of fruit & vegetables grown, picked and packed in the area including tomatoes, avocados, lemons, limes, mandarins, capsicums, rockmelons & watermelons just to name a few!
Usually the pay will be at least $16.93 per hour but sometimes you may be paid by piece rate (the more you pick the more you get paid).
