Hire vetted farm hands in Tasmania in minutes.
Tasmania’s seasonal work runs through Huon Valley and Tamar orchards, Coal River vineyards and berry farms in the north, with harvest peaks from December. MyGig’s Tasmanian farm pool is young: cover is most realistic close to Hobart and Launceston, and regional picking shifts show honest availability rather than a promise.
A property’s labour needs swing with the season: casual farm hands cover the peaks without carrying wages through the quiet months. No formal tickets are typically required to start; vetting covers identity, references and role skills.
Post the shift in about 60 seconds and watch vetted farm hands apply. MyGig is the Employer of Record: employment contracts, award-interpreted payroll with the clause cited, 12% superannuation, and workers compensation all sit with us. You get one invoice and one flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, with the full cost estimated before you book.
