SORRY - NO JOB VACANCIES

At the moment we will not need any more workers until the middle of January 2011. Applications for these positions will be taken from December of this year.

We receive many more applications than we have positions available so not all applicants will be offered work.

Our experience is that workers who live on-site in our workers camp tend to be good reliable workers and we look favourably on applications from people wanting to stay in our seasonal workers camp.

We offer our workers on-site fully catered accommodation with 60 rooms each having two or three beds. If you prefer you can put your own tent up in our camping area however this is also fully catered with us providing the meals. Details are on our accommodation page.

The R J Cornish & Co orchard is located at Cobram which is a country town on the Murray River in northern Victoria. It has good facilities which makes it a great place for fruit pickers. The fruit picking season (late January to April) in this part of Australia is usually fairly warm to hot. Check out our current weather conditions by clicking here.

We offer good working conditions and the chance to get fit at the same time. Fruit picking work is generally available Monday to Friday (weather and crop permitting) with the strong possibility of Sunday work.

Applications are now being taken from people looking for seasonal work who are willing to support safe work practices. We do not have any fruit picking jobs for people who are going to take risks with safety..

If you are offered a job you will need to provide suitable Photo ID (drivers licence, passport etc) when you sign on at our office. You will also need to provide your Tax File Number and the details of your Australian bank account for payment of your wages.

To apply for seasonal work with us you must:

We are a 'Freshcare' Certified Company and expect our employees to assist us to produce the highest standards of fruit which is sold as fresh fruit or processed for canning.

As part of our health and safety and food safety policies employees cannot bring dogs onto the orchard property.
