Labourer Jobs in Australia

About labourer jobs

Farm labourer jobs across Australia cover the work that keeps a farm running: packing sheds, loading, irrigation and general hands. Plenty of it is entry-level, with no experience needed.

What the work involves

General farm labouring covers packing shed work, sorting and grading, loading trucks, irrigation, planting, weeding and helping with whatever needs doing. It is physical and the days can be long, but many roles take people with no experience and train you on the job.

Where to find it

Labouring work follows the crops, so the big farming regions have the most of it. Packing shed work in particular runs longer than picking, because fruit keeps getting sorted and packed after the harvest rush.

Pay and visa

The casual minimum is $30.91 per hour under the relevant award. Most farm labouring in regional areas counts toward your 88 days. See our pay rates guide for what to expect.
