Lavoro Harvest

Che lavoro è disponibile

Grapes, citrus, stone fruits and vegetables are harvested along the Murray River each year. Jobs include picking, packing, pruning and other general

harvest work. The jobs can include climbing ladders, standing, kneeling or sitting while moving through the crop. The work is often repetitious and tiring

and can, depending on location, be in dry and dusty or cold and damp conditions. Start time is usually from early morning and often long into the day.

The crop is often picked into tubs, buckets or placed in a bag strapped to the picker or picked into bundles and placed onto trays or into bins. Some sorting

and packing jobs are also required. These can involve working later in the day after the crop has been harvested.

For more details on the Fruit & Vegetable Harvest, a video has been produced named “A Great Spot To Pick” which can give you a description of the

areas and the jobs available. This can be viewed at you local MADEC harvest office.

Durata stagionale The main grape harvest season commences mid-February and runs through to late March. The stone fruit harvest (Swan Hill) begins in late November and

can continue until early April.

Job : Corboy Fresh Fruit, Victoria, Australia - Fruit

Picking

Corboy Fresh Fruit's harvest season peaks at mid-late

January when approximately 150-200 extra fruit pickers

will be needed. Crops to be harvested are Peaches, Pears,

Nectarines, Plums and Apples.

Fruit picking is hard work and it can be extremely hot in

the paddock. Appropriate clothing should be worn e.g.

long sleeve cotton shirt, light weight slacks,trousers,shorts

and a wide soft brimmed hat must be worn. Solid work

boots with ankle support is also recommended as the

ground may be uneven. Sunscreen must be worn.

Fruit is picked, according to instructions, using a ladder to

climb to the fruit and a picking bag is worn strapped to the

shoulders, fruit is placed in the bag then carefully emptied

into the fruit bin supplied. Fruit is picked either to colour,

size or strip picked (taking all fruit on the tree).

Payment is made per bin of fruit picked.

All employees are trained in the correct methods in which

to pick fruit. An experienced person will conduct a

training session prior to you commencing your

employment or on the day you start. It is important to

listen carefully and carry out instructions.

You will find that there are tricks to the trade e.g. where to

carry and place your ladder to obtain most benefit, how to

wear your picking bag correctly etc., when you become

familiar with the skill of fruit picking, the benefits will

become apparent with a good quality fruit and a higher bin

tally for you, resulting in more money in your pocket at

the end of the week, with less effort.

You will be supervised by an experienced picker called a

ganger. Any problems must be reported to this person.

There are different requirements needed to pick each

variety of fruit. All fruit needs care when being picked to

reduce bruising and other damage.

Each casual fruit picker will be issued with an Information

Booklet which states in further detail what is expected.

Corboy Fresh Fruit Pty Ltd is a family owned business

comprising fruit growing, packing and export & domestic

sales, established in1980 by Mr John Corboy and his wife

Kerry. Since that time, together with their sons they have

Job : R J Cornish & Co Pty Ltd, Cobram, Victoria,

Australia

WHEN ARE THE JOBS?

A large number of fruit pickers (up to 140 per day) are

required during our fruit picking season in the mid

January to late March/April period each year.

We may also have vacancies for experienced tractor

drivers.

WHAT CROPS?

Peaches, pears and then apples.

PAYMENT

Fruit pickers are paid on a piece-work system (rates are

approved by the government authorities, growers and

unions)so the more fruit you pick the more you earn.

There is no guaranteed minimum wage for most fruit

pickers on our farm.

WHO ARE THE WORKERS?

We have a large number of fruit pickers from all over

Australia and many parts of the world.

To work with us you must be an Australian Citizen or an

Australian permanent resident, the holder of a New

WHAT IS THE JOB LIKE?

Picking is generally done from steel ladders, so you need

Page 8: Guida lavoro outside cities - WordPress.com · Job : Corboy Fresh Fruit, Victoria, Australia - Fruit Picking Corboy Fresh Fruit's harvest season peaks at mid-late January when approximately

to be fairly healthy as there is a fair bit of carrying, lifting

and walking.

The fruit is picked into a bag which is slung over your

shoulders in a harness fashion and then emptied into the

'bin'. The bin holds the equivalent of 22 cases of fruit, so it

can take some time to fill a bin up.

If you are new to fruit picking you may find it fairly

difficult to begin with, but within a couple of days you

will find that your daily bin numbers are likely to increase

as you develop better technique.

INDUCTION

Before you start working on our orchard you will be

instructed in the correct and safe techniques of using a

picking ladder and other aspects of fruit picking.

Job : Tumbarumba Blueberries, Snowy Mountains, NSW - Blueberry Picking

Page 9: Guida lavoro outside cities - WordPress.com · Job : Corboy Fresh Fruit, Victoria, Australia - Fruit Picking Corboy Fresh Fruit's harvest season peaks at mid-late January when approximately

HARVEST SEASON

The blueberry harvest season runs from late

December to mid March each year.

The main focus of the business is export with all

blueberries destined for these markets hand harvested.

This is a labour intensive operation and requires large

numbers of pickers.

Work commences at approximately 7.00am each morning

Monday to Friday or as the weather permits.

Hand harvest usually concludes at 1.00pm to 2.00 pm as

the weather is usually too hot for harvest after this time.

Blueberries cannot be harvested wet therefore any dew or

rain must not be present. We are unable to control the

weather and therefore no harvest will be possible on rainy

days.

The packing shed is also in operation at this time which

sees all the days hand harvested fruit packed as well as

machine harvested fruit processed . The packing shed is

operated in shifts by a number of different staff. A

rotating shift is utilised that sees different tasks

undertaken on rotating days. These shifts are made up at

the start of the season and are on a first in basis. A priority

list is then established to take the place of those that leave

or do not meet the picking criteria. This criterion is based

upon a minimum picking volume and ensures good

pickers are rewarded with ongoing work.

The operating hours of the packing shed are usually 8.30

am to 6.00 pm.

PICKING

Picking blueberries is not difficult with all work carried

out from the ground. The trees are no more than two

meters tall and are easily accessed.

There are no thorns or any other impediment to the picker.

The fruit is grown in clusters with the fruit ripening

gradually within each cluster.

Each tree is picked a number of times over the season

with only the ripe fruit removed each time.

As with any fruit picking not everyone is suited to the

task. Some people will find that they are unable to pick

reasonable volumes of fruit.

It does however take a few days to master the picking

technique.

To enable a satisfactory wage pickers need to be dedicated

to the task and work undistracted.

Experience has also shown that females are far better at

picking than males due to their dexterity and application

to the job.

This however does not rule out all males as some of our

best pickers in recent years have in fact been male.

Pickers are assigned to a team each with its own team

leader. Teams have their own rows and varieties to pick.

The team leader is accountable for the quantity and

quality harvested by their team.

The most effective picking method identified to date is to

pick into a two litre container tied around the waist

(allowing the use of two hands) and when full carefully

placing the fruit from the container into a ten litre bucket.

At regular intervals the fruit is picked up from the end of

the picking row where it is identified to the picker, tipped

from the bucket into a bar coded tray and then transported

to the packing shed where the blueberries are weighed,

graded and packed.

Each picker is issued with a numbered and bar coded card

that is scanned at the time of pick up. The card is scanned

together with the tray the fruit is tipped into which allows

later identification.

WAGES

Picking is paid on piece rates of $3.00/kg for export

quality fruit.

The average serious picker should be able to pick

approximately 5 kgs per hour of export quality fruit.

Processed grade fruit is paid at the rate of $0.50 per kg

however pickers are discouraged from picking anything

other than export grade fruit. Picking any volume of

process grade fruit will be uneconomical for the picker

and picked consistently will result in the picker being

asked to leave.

Shed work and any other tasks are paid by the hour. The

adult wage is $14.85 per hour.

Payment of wages will be by way of electronic transfer to

each individuals bank account. To enable payment it is

critically important to have correct banking details that

include a 6 digit BSB and Account Number. For accuracy

it is best obtain this from a deposit slip or bank book.

The pay week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday with

funds available on or before Friday of each week.

All employees are required to complete a Government

Employment Declaration together with a Tumbarumba

Blueberry Producers Application for Employment Form

and Work Place Agreement.

All employees are required to have a tax file number,

Australian Residency or an Australian Government

approved working visa.

The harvest season is a minimum of 10 weeks long and

preference is given to people who are interested in staying

for the full season.

FACILITIES and ACCOMMODATION

The main location for accommodation is at the

Tumbarumba Creek Caravan Park which is located beside

the Tumbarumba Creek in Tumbarumba

This is a very picturesque location and offers excellent

facilities onsite and is within a very short walk of the town

centre where there are the usual supermarkets, takeaway,

chemist, clothing stores, hotels etc.

Sporting facilities and activities within walking distance

of the Caravan Park include: Swimming at the town pool

across the road from the park; Golf on the 9 hole course;

courts are beside the park; Cricket and baseball fields are

park and in Mannus lake a short drive away; Squash

courts are available for hire; Table tennis, badminton and

volleyball are all available at the Caravan Park

The facilities at the blueberry orchard include clean

amenities, fresh drinking water, shady areas and also drink

and food vending machines.

Important items for blueberry picking include sturdy

footwear, long sleeved top and protection from the sun.

Packing shed workers will be required to wear enclosed

footwear and appropriate clothing for a controlled

atmosphere packing room.

If you want to explore Australia like a local, one way is to start working with them. Advice and tips from locals might open up a few doors and you can leave the well trodden tourist path to the tourists. Try getting a job in one of the many Melbourne

backpackers, which, aside from putting you in

touch with the local staff, is a great way of saving money on accommodation. In exchange for your help behind reception, cleaning the dorm rooms or perhaps assisting with some office admin, you can get a room for

a couple of weeks and perhaps a bit of pocket money depending on how much time you can commit.

Borderline Backpackers So, You wanna come to Australia and see all the sights and

wonders we have to offer?

That's all good and well if you have the money to do it. If

you need to earn some excellent money to help finance

your adventure you should call in and stay with us.

An absolutely fantastic place to work & stay while earning

great cash. Only 5 minutes from the Murray River, an

excellent place to just kick back and relax on the river and

watch those magnificent sunsets, have a beer or go for a

swim.
