Farm work Victoria: we specialise in horticulture

Farm work in regional Victoria – Delivering compliant, productive and reliable workforces to the livestock sector

The livestock industry, including cattle farms, dairy farms and their associated operations, enjoys a stellar international reputation and is an important driver of the Victorian economy.

Victorian livestock is highly regarded for setting the bar as far as international standards are concerned, given its strict biosecurity and traceability regulations.

Australia’s thriving trade relationships with other nations enable the export of a wide range of Victorian livestock and aquaculture commodities.

Naturally, significant farm labour is required to keep these agribusinesses operating efficiently.

Agri Labour Australia partners with Victorian agribusiness owners in the livestock industry to source workers for positions in manual labour, animal husbandry, machinery operation, facility maintenance, maintaining farm equipment and more. Some of the roles we place include farm manager, senior farm hand, crop care specialists, livestock attendants and lots more.

Agri Labour Australia also supplies farm workers for regional Victoria’s poultry and dairy industry, and piggeries.

Livestock roles are generally intensive, with many of Victoria’s farms needing to top up casual staff several times a year (for example, during poultry farm shed changeover periods).

Farm workers for Victoria’s grain & broadacre agribusinesses

Important crops in Victoria requiring farm workers include wheat (most prevalent), barley, canola, oats and lentils.

Agri Labour Australia supplies reliable and experienced farm hand workers, irrigation labourers and machinery operators (for chaser bins, forklifts and tractors) to fulfil the seasonal personnel requirements of broadacre hire farming businesses in Victoria.

Along with casual and seasonal requirements, our recruitment team also places permanent positions at Victoria’s broadacre business. We are currently seeking roles include agronomists, farm managers, irrigation technicians, farm hands, cropping supervisors, sprayer operators and operations managers.

Given the state’s southerly location, Victoria’s grain harvest is generally the last to commence among the eastern states of Australia. Queensland’s happens first, followed by New South Wales and then Victoria.

This later harvest works well for Agri Labour Australia and for farm work jobs Victoria in general because it gives us opportunity to assemble a ‘grain harvest trail’, with a crew of workers that moves from north to south.

We mobilise farm workers with prior training and experience from Queensland to New South Wales and Victoria, by which time they are adept at handling any grain-related scenario.

The Agri Labour Australia team has extensive experience mobilising large numbers of workers across both the grain and horticulture industry harvest trails.

As part of these harvest trails, we supply labouring and quality assurance staff, supervisors and machinery operators to staff storage and handling facilities in Victoria.
