Casual labour hire lets farms and agricultural businesses bring on workers for short-term or fluctuating needs, such as planting, harvesting or seasonal peaks, without taking on the cost and admin of direct employment. MASA handles recruitment, payroll, compliance and onboarding, so you only pay for the labour you need, when you need it.
Yes. Agriculture is one of the main industries that relies on working holiday makers, and MASA can help connect you with eligible visa holders for seasonal and casual roles. We manage the relevant compliance checks around visa conditions and work rights, so you can focus on getting the harvest or job done rather than the paperwork.
It depends on your needs. Labour hire is generally the better option when work is seasonal, unpredictable or short-term, since it gives you flexibility without the ongoing costs of permanent staff (leave entitlements, superannuation admin, recruitment overhead). Direct employment tends to suit roles that are year-round and consistent. Many farms use a mix of both, relying on labour hire to scale up during peak periods.
The fastest way is to partner with a labour hire agency that already has a pool of available, work-ready candidates, like seasonal labourers, pickers and farmhands, ready to deploy. MASA pre-screens workers for availability, experience and compliance (visa status, licences, etc.), so you can fill seasonal roles fast without running your own recruitment process from scratch.
