In your 'Offer of Employment' email, it will state the earliest date that we may contact you to start work.

Your Site Manager will call you to inform you of your exact start date and time of your first shift.

Please note that the weather plays a significant factor in determining when you might start.

Within the GrainCorp Enterprise Agreement that applies to your employment, the classification structure outlines what are the tasks / responsibilities for each grade.

Your Site Manager will determine the tasks that you are to perform and you will receive the associated pay rate for that grade.

As a reference, the entry Grade 1 is tabled below:

Last updated 10 July 2024

On any day you are engaged to work, the minimum will be 4 hours.

Harvest workers are rostered shifts to meet operational requirements. Shifts can average between 4 to 10 hours, depending on the site operating hours. Early shifts, afternoon shifts, and night shifts may also be required. Work can be up to several weeks, depending on harvest conditions and operational requirements.

Yes. At harvest, our sites operate 7 days a week to meet grower demand. Some of our sites also operate through the night. This means that if you are successful in securing a casual employment with us, you may be rostered by your Site Manager to work on a weekend or asked to work on a public holiday and it is important that you make yourself available through these periods, within reason. Your Site Manager will discuss this further with you when you start, and you should let them know if you have an important occasion to take into consideration when planning rosters.

Days and hours of work (shifts) are coordinated locally, so please speak with your Site Manager regarding any preferences. Your Site Manager will take into consideration the skills, training and experience of a team to adequately run a shift

You will be paid via electronic funds transfer every fortnightly, into your nominated bank account and this will occur on the Thursday of pay week at the latest. The actual day on which your pay reaches your bank account will depend on your bank.

Work as a harvest worker can involve exposure to challenging environmental conditions such as dust, noise, traffic, and hot temperatures.

Employees who complete online learning and commence employment are paid for this training.

Training completed on site is also paid.

Yes. We review and improve our ways of working each year, so it is important that you re-complete your online learning so that you are familiar with the new requirements.

The best way to securing a harvest position is to have your own accommodation (either a house in your preferred location or having a caravan/campervan for use).

If you are relying on GrainCorp for accommodation, this will impact your application as we have very limited accommodation.

The very little accommodation we do have is published on this website and allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

No, there is no accommodation allowance available this year.

Employees need to arrange their own transport to and from the worksite. This may be something employees can discuss with their Site Manager. Generally, there is limited public transport where we operate.

Employees need to arrange their own meals. Fresh drinking water is supplied so please bring your water bottle

We do our best to place friends and travelling companions together provided you are flexible with your location preference.

In your application, there is space to let us know who you would like to work with.

Enter your friend's full name and email address when applying. The Recruitment team will then let you know of the outcome.
