Work

Mildura offers seasonal farm and harvest work for most of the year.

 We don't guarantee farm work but when you stay with us at Mildura International Backpackers we try very hard to help you find a job.

Some work may be hourly paid work and some will be paid on a contract or piece-work rate. 

February through to mid-May is the peak time for table, dried and wine grape picking, trimming and packing.   June to August is the time for citrus picking and packing and vine work such as pulling out and rolling on.   September to January sees nursery work, vine planting, general farm labouring work, pruning of new growth and trimming of bunches and vine covering. There may also be some late orange picking and other tasks to set up for the new crop of grapes and dried fruit.

At different times of the year there may be jobs picking and packing vegetables or fruit such as capsicum, apricots, beans, melons, pumpkins and asparagus.

For a small daily service fee, we link you with available jobs and provide you with transport to and from the work place.

It is nearly always easier to get work if you are already staying at Mildura International Backpackers as it is rare that we accept a job that we cannot fill with someone already staying with us. We won't tell you to come if we don't honestly think there will be something available based on what farmers tell us .... but understand that sometimes situations change and the work doesn't go ahead.
