AUSVEG urges growers to assist industry bodies and the Federal Government by planning their workforce needs earlier, and where possible, advertise their needs earlier via the Harvest Labour Services website.

The access to accurate workforce data for industry and Federal Government has never been more important in ensuring growers have the workforce they need to continue to produce their food.

It is important that as an industry we provide accurate information and be as realistic as possible about our workforce needs.

Advertising earlier via the Harvest Labour Service, which is a free service, allows industry and government to have a central point for Australia’s horticulture labour needs, and will help industry advocate for improved policy settings to assist growers through this difficult time.
