Harvest Labour Office
MADEC Jobs Australia provides all year round Harvest Labour services to meet seasonal labour market needs.

They supply labour to major harvest areas seeking large numbers of harvest workers to supplement local labour supply.

MADEC now operates 6 Harvest Labour Offices across three states. Harvest Labour Offices in Mildura, Renmark, Wentworth, Robinvale, Swan Hill and McLaren Vale operate all year to alleviate some of the added pressure on growers during peak harvest times.

Harvest Labour Office staff liaise with growers, industry leaders and industry groups to keep up with regional trends and industry needs; communicate with jobseekers outside the region to inform them of available facilities, transport and accommodation; and liaise with other labour services including the National Harvest Labour Information Service, and Job Network Members.

This extends to other potential labour sources including universities, backpacker hostels and community groups.

National Harvest Labour Information Service
It is now easier for growers to find workers and for workers to find jobs in Australia's widely dispersed horticulture industry thanks to an innovative free program that lets workers and growers easily contact each other.

The National Harvest Labour Information Service (NHLIS) uses a dedicated call centre and website to let jobseekers know what work is available where and when, and is managed by MADEC (a not to profit, community based organisation in North West Victoria).

It is a "one stop shop" that allows growers to find workers to pick of pack crops - anywhere in Australia.

All that growers need to do is ring the toll free number:
1800 062 3323 and the NHLIS can quickly put them in touch with each other so that Australia's valuable horticultural crops can be picked, packed and processed in a timely manner.
