Fruit growers across the Goulburn Valley need your help to get the fruit off the trees.
Greater Shepparton and Victorian farmers need your support to get produce off to market.
Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, farmers are expecting a shortfall of thousands of seasonal workers. Workers who support the industry will support farmers and ensure fresh produce is supplied to Australia and the rest of the world.
Pickers are needed to ensure quality fruit does not go to waste.
No experience is needed apart from being physically healthy, fit and reliable, as well as having a willingness to learn and a great attitude! If you ware wanting to start a longer term career in the industry, there are opportunities that require some level of training such as driving tractors, etc. Your employer will let you know what is needed and most growers are willing to train people in new skills.
