Farm hands and general farm workers in Australia do a bit of everything — feeding stock, checking water and fences, helping with harvest, running the tractor, and keeping the property tidy. Work is spread across mixed grain-and-livestock properties in NSW, WA, VIC and QLD, and the sheep-belt of SA. It is steady, all-round outdoor work with on-farm accommodation often included, and a clear pathway from farm hand to leading hand and 2IC. This guide covers salary, duties, visas and how to apply.
