Aimed at farmers and job seekers, the Dairy Farm Jobs Board is free and easy to use.
“For farmers ready to start advertising for new workers, it’s as quick and easy as submitting an online form with job vacancy details including any links to any existing online advertisements,” Dairy Australia’s Verity Ingham said.
“And for jobseekers, if you like working with animals, working outdoors, seek career progression, job variety and training and want job security — visit the online jobs board to see if there's something for you.”
The Dairy Farm Jobs Board complements Dairy Australia’s broader Workforce Attraction program.
The program includes a new national marketing campaign aimed at jobseekers to promote the benefits of working in dairy farming and encouraging Australians to explore a job in dairy.
To date, the campaign has attracted more than 200,000 people to the website.
It also includes a focus on increased careers education for school students on job opportunities in dairy farming and career pathways.
Dedicated staff in dairy regions called Workforce Attraction Regional Leads also help connect farmers seeking workers with the networks used by jobseekers.
In addition, two new initiatives for farmers to support people management skills are being piloted called ‘Farming with My Team’ and ‘Managing People 1:1 Support’.
Farmers can contact one of Dairy Australia’s regional Workforce Attraction leads for employment support and help connecting with jobseeker networks, and for additional resources to help promote dairy farming jobs, visit: dairyaustralia.com.au/people
