Farm Work & Lifestyle
A job that works for you
A dairy farm job offers it all: stability, reliable income, and work-life balance. Oh, and did we mention the great outdoors? Watch what a day in a life of a dairy farmer involves.
Dairy farms offer dynamic opportunities with hands-on outdoor work, involving animals, working with machinery and technology. Plus, you'll develop valuable, transferable skills that open doors for travel, farm ownership, or building assets.
A career in dairy farming is flexible, varied, and full of new challenges—no two days are ever the same. Each day provides the chance to learn, grow, and make a meaningful contribution to an important industry.
But that’s not all. Benefits include:
- flexible hours
- rostered days off
- possibility of additional hours.
Depending on the farm, there may also be the opportunity for:
- bonuses
- above awards payments
- a chance to build equity
- accommodation.
On a dairy farm, each day is full of variety, with no two days being the same and your workday is yours to shape. And when it’s time to clock off, you’ll have time to explore your hobbies, invest in training, and grow both personally and professionally. It’s the best of both worlds.
