Pig farming operations are located across various regions in Australia, offering stable, year-round employment for those ready to make a real contribution.
Agri Labour Australia is proud to lead the industry when it comes to candidate care – providing comprehensive and ongoing support, throughout the placement and beyond.
As agriculture experts with an extensive network of clients, we’re able to provide successful candidates with opportunities for more work after a placement ends.
Our candidates are all part of #myagrifamily – a fun and connected group of people from around the globe who work in the great Australian ag industry.
You’ll have direct access to your recruiter throughout your placement for questions, support, or help lining up your next role when the season wraps.
Working in the piggery industry involves a variety of tasks and responsibilities, and work is done across all sections of the farm. Some of the roles include:
Whether you’re caring for animals, managing feed, or cleaning down sheds, the work is physical and the days can be long. We’re looking for people who show up consistently, take pride in what they do, and bring a good attitude to the job every day.
Pigs need care seven days a week and the team depends on everyone pulling their weight. If you follow through and take your responsibilities seriously, you’ll fit right in.
The wellbeing of the animals and the health of the farm come first. You’ll need to follow strict protocols and understand why those standards matter in a commercial livestock environment.
From pen maintenance and feed management through to shed sanitation, you’ll need stamina, focus, and a willingness to get the job done properly every time.
Agri Labour Australia is fully committed to ensuring the safety of all our staff. All successful applicants are required to participate in inductions, training and pre-employment education and attain the necessary safety knowledge and appropriate skills prior to starting work. Pre-employment drug and alcohol testing will be carried out prior to beginning work and randomly throughout your employment.
