Employment Opportunities
Are you a backpacker looking for harvest & fruit picking work in the Whitsundays? Provided you have a current working visa, the Whitsunday region provides several excellent opportunities for seasonal harvest work. Jobs are available in Mackay, Bowen & Ayr throughout most of the year, but predominantly from May to December. The Australian Government's Harvest Trail website is a goldmine of information for those of you looking to get started on the trail and find a job.
The 2010 National Harvest Guide is an excellent download full of useful information about what to expect from a harvest job, when to go, where to stay and how to get to all the country's harvest regions.
Phone the National Harvest Telephone Information Service 1800 062 332 for information on harvest labour wages, working conditions or accommodation. |
