Farm Employment

There is a tremendous opportunity to gain farm employment on Tasmanian farms at all levels. A recent survey suggested that 30 per cent of farmers required additional labour.

With the Tasmanian dairy industry continuing to grow and family units getting smaller, farm owners are becoming increasingly dependent on hired labour. The average Tasmanian dairy farm is now large enough to support 3 employees, which is generally more than can be sourced from the farm family.
