Connecting skilled and unskilled candidates with Western Australia’s agricultural sectors

Western Australia has a thriving grain industry located across the south-western corner of the state, with farms and storage facilities located from Geraldton all the way down to Esperance. Grain is WA’s most valuable agricultural commodity, followed by canola and barley.

We have the networks to source every type of grain-related position, from farm labour, quality assurance staff and supervisors, to machinery operators and staff to man storage and handling facilities during the grain harvest months later in the year.

Given that Agri Labour Australia has a strong presence in the aquaculture industry, which is another booming commodity for Western Australia, we are well positioned to supply aquaculture workers for farm work jobs in the state’s fisheries, pearl farms and processing facilities.

Supplying farm labour to processing facilities across various agribusiness sectors from all over the country means Agri Labour Australia is able to mobilise experienced processing staff who have proven themselves in prior roles. Once a team of workers has finished a job in South Australia or Tasmania, for example, they can pick up and take their skills to your farm in Western Australia.

Agri Labour Australia’s expansive international network agricultural and farming job candidates, together with our presence in countries across the globe, allow us to reach unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled candidates that meet the requirements of your positions. If there is a suitable candidate for a farm work role, we have the experience and means to find them and deliver them to your business in Western Australia.

How Western Australian farms drive the state’s economy

Agriculture is big business in WA, with agricultural land occupying 1,064,736 square kilometres (approximately 42.09 per cent of the state). The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector employs around 42,000 local workers in Western Australia on farms, processing plants and other agribusinesses, which is just 3 per cent of the state’s workforce. Many more agricultural jobs are required to be filled at various key times throughout the year, depending on seasons and cycle.

When local farm labour resources fall short, Agri Labour Australia can step in and fill the farm work jobs you need to do business.

The gross value of agricultural production in Western Australia was $9 billion in 2016-17, which equated to a significant 15 per cent of the total gross value of agricultural production in Australia.

Western Australia’s most important commodities based on the gross value of agricultural production were wheat ($2.4 billion), canola ($1.2 billion) and barley ($860 million). Together, these three commodities contributed 50 per cent of the state’s total agricultural production value.

Cattle and calves, wool, and sheep and lamb also contributed significantly to farming job generation in Western Australia. Other WA crops regularly in need of farm labour include lupins, oats, pulses, cotton, sugarcane, rice and hemp.
