New Australian website for seasonal workers
Farmers will be able to post job openings which it is hoped will increase their visibility for seasonal workers. The website will also provide Tasmanian agricultural news and information for workers, including work health and safety, work readiness and application advice.
“Growers can place adverts for two months free. [Filling] jobs in the sector is a challenge for everyone,” Mr Pyke said.
“The State Government understands that agriculture and tourism are competitive strengths for Tasmania,” he said in a statement.
“With industry concern over the backpacker tax on Tasmania’s agricultural and tourism sectors, the State Government is pleased to fund Fruit Growers Tasmania to co-ordinate an industry-run, online campaign, including targeted social media, to promote harvest jobs," he added.
