All about work...

Need work while you travel?

Workers wanted!!   Our working season is starting now!  We need harvest workers from mid March through to the end of the year. 

During March and April we need people to plant seed for melons and also plant cane.  From April through October there is picking of squash, zucchini, melons, chili, cucumber, tomatos and more!  Most work is paid hourly.

Fruit and vegetable picking can be a great way to earn money while you are travelling Australia.  You get fit, get a great tan and travel while you're doing it!  PLUS if you do more than 3 months of harvest work you are able to apply for a one year extension to your working holidaymaker visa! 

How much Money can you earn?

Most vegetables and fruit (eggfruit, zucchini, squash, chilli, tomato, rockmelons): $14.92 per hour

Mangos, pumpkins and watermelons are usually paid on contract - the amount depends on the farm and the size of the bin however a good picker can earn around $150 a day or MUCH more!  Mango packing is normally paid at $14.92 per hour.

The hours you will work each day depend on the weather - some days you may work 10 hours or more, others you may only work 4 or 5 hours.  Most farms work 7 days a week during the season.

What do you need?

• Working Holidaymaker Visa (Visa 147)
• Tax File Number
• Australian bank account
• Working Clothes and shoes (we sell these at Reception!)
• water bottle - you need to take AT LEAST 5 litres of water per day
