The agriculture sector is crucial to the success of Australia's economy, and the COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder for farmers to find the workers they need to fill their labour shortages.
Temporary visa holders can help fill some of these shortages to ensure harvest work continues and agriculture can continue to play its important role in securing Australia's prosperity.
The Government has introduced a number of temporary visa measures to address labour shortages in the agricultural sector, assisting temporary visa holders to continue to work in agriculture and increase the number of visa holders available for employers.
You can find specified work vacancies in agriculture that are available across Australia the same way you would find other job vacancies. This includes employment pages in newspapers, the internet, social media, and job placement service providers. Vacancies for agriculture and harvest work can also be found on the Australian Government’s Workforce Australia jobs board.
