Need Help To find Farm Jobs in Australia?
There are farms that offer living and food arrangements for their workers as part of their pay package. This is to make their working arrangements more appealing for any new incomer that arrives here in Australia.
Other arrangements for payment is available, such as being per hour or or being paid by the amount harvested in a day.
If you do not prepare, prepare to fail. This is one work area where it is a good idea to contact people who have already had experience in finding work within this area. Other tips include consulting websites or groups on social media dedicated to working on farms and door knocking. Rural farmers appreciate those who turn up and are ready to work.
Nothing beats a short walk to work. That is why it is important that you find accommodation close to your work. Your employer may offer accommodation onsite as part of their working benefits so it is a good idea to check first whether this is the case.
Other tips to ensure you have found the right place to stay is to read reviews from other travellers and to check the room before any payment is made.
Our final advice is to let loose and have fun!
Do some research before you head off to your farming destination. Join community forums and make new friends. Learn about the community and what the area is known. You will find Australia has a rich agricultural history.

"I wanted to study to become an English Teacher and get the TESOL qualification. AIC searched for the right college for me and wouldn't stop until they found the one that perfectly matched my needs. They helped me with the application process in a precise and scrupulous way. They made things easy"
"I was at the end of my working holiday visa when I came across AIC. I did not know where to begin with the process and deadline I had to meet. I am glad that I found AIC, they made my course application process easy. They are very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in what they do. Throughout the process, they handled my case very closely and understood my concerns. AIC always were able to point me in the right direction from start to finish. It's been a long road that I travelled together with AIC and I couldn't be in better hands. I've been a client for AIC for more then three years and I will continue to rely on them for all of my future visa applications."
