Before you apply for a job consider that you will need your own transport so that you can get to our orchard each day as we do not have any onsite accommodation available. See accommodation options.

Vacancies will be limited and many job applicants are likely to be unsuccessful.

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 will be taken from eligible 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:

• be an Australian citizen, or
• be an Australian permanent resident, or
• be the holder of a New Zealand passport, or

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.

Fruit picking can be very hard work in the hot sun ...
This job may not suit everyone because it can be very hot!

The R J Cornish & Co orchard is located near Cobram township on the Murray River in northern Victoria. It has good facilities which makes it a great place for fruit pickers. The fruit picking season (mid January to early April) in this part of Australia is usually fairly warm to hot. You could reasonably expect some work days to reach 40° celsius.
