COTTON workforce services

We’re cotton recruitment experts

Since we were founded, Agri Labour Australia has delivered safe, reliable workforces to cotton operations throughout Australia.

  • With rigorous cotton recruitment processes that identify candidates’ level of motivation, as well as their ability to perform.
  • Our national footprint allows us to move high-performing workforces around the country on various planting, harvesting and ginning assignments.
  • We consult with cotton ginnnig clients to develop results-based training programs (virtual and on-site), as well as metrics and targets to improve productivity every season.

Prepared, productive workforces

The teams we assemble understand the unique conditions they’ll be working under, and are aware they may be expected to work long hours in challenging conditions.

By accurately briefing candidates before they start work, we ensure consistency, commitment and reliability in your cotton workforce.

Seasonal flexibility

Workforces to suit your schedule

Australia’s cotton ginning season is a long one, generally running from April until August, depending on where the cotton gin is located.

No matter when your harvest falls, our workforces are always ready for deployment.

Thanks to our extensive reach, we’re able to source candidates year-round for any location, and our recruitment and workforce optimisation services are unaffected by the seasonal calendar.
