Welcome to Farmwork WA
*** FARMWORK UPDATE ***

We will be recruiting for pickers and packers in May/June 2023

FarmWork WA Pty Ltd manages the seasonal workforce for the Ti Strawberries Group of strawberry farms and packing houses in Western Australia, all located within 45 minutes of the Perth CBD. We are a legitimate Australian-owned farming business, we issue full legal pay slips and our work is eligible for the 2nd year Visa extension.
Working on a farm is hard work. We pay hourly in accordance with the Australian Horticultural Award 2020 and retention of your position will be based on your performance. If you are a fast or experienced worker who is interested in working on a West Australian strawberry farm, We welcome you! If you are a slow worker or have little entheusiasm towards farm work or working on a packing line, or if you are hoping for an easy job to sign-off your regional work requirement, this job will not suit you so please do not apply.

If you are unsure which category you fit into, you are welcome to apply and come for an interview to trial the work. As many applicants have not worked on a farm before we provide ongoing training to try to help you achieve the expected work rates. This said farm work is not for everyone, so ultimately it is left up to you to decide whether the job is suitable for you and whether you can perform the job at a suitable speed and skill level that will enable you to earn the Award rate. If you accept the job and then at any time you decide that you cannot achieve the require work rates, you may leave without penalty. We do however request that, as a common courtesy, you advise your supervisor of this before you leave.
If you have any questions, see the information below or you can contact us on 0457 878 515 or you can click on the "Contact Us" button above to email us.
