Rural charity Rural Aid is helping fill the agricultural worker shortage created by border closures and travel restrictions.

Rural Aid’s Farm Army website provides a platform where volunteers and workers apply for jobs that are listed by farmers needing a hand.

Since 2015, thousands of volunteers and workers have found meaningful work on Aussie farms through the Farm Army site.

The site has undergone an upgrade, making it easier than ever to find workers.

Rural Aid chief executive John Warlters said the Farm Army was a valuable resource in the current climate.

“We know finding workers for harvest is difficult at the moment, which is why we are excited to relaunch the Farm Army website now,” Mr Warlters said.

“The platform is great for filling other jobs too.

“Keep an eye out for truck driving work, farmhand jobs and caretaking and house-sitting roles too.

“More than 10 thousand volunteers, job seekers and grey nomads are already part of the Farm Army and receive regular job updates.”

The Farm Army is open to primary producers who are registered with Rural Aid.
