Raspberry Pickers Needed 2nd/3rd Visa Eligible

Raspberry Picker Recruitment (Coffs Harbour)

The season has just started.
This is the best time for beginners to receive training and get familiar with the work before the fruit volume increases.

We are almost full now, and only a few accommodation spots remain.

Accommodation can be reserved in advance, but your arrival date must be confirmed.

The peak season is from March to May, when fruit volume is highest and earning potential is greater.
Raspberry picking is expected to continue at least until October, and after that there will be ongoing work opportunities such as blueberry picking.

No farm experience is required.
Anyone who wants to try farm work or plans to complete their 2nd or 3rd Working Holiday Visa is very welcome.
We will assist you in consistently collecting the payslips required for your 2nd / 3rd visa application.

There will be continuous work from now until next year.
After the raspberry season finishes, work will smoothly transition to blueberry picking, so there will usually be no long gaps between jobs.

Some people say Coffs Harbour has a bad reputation,
but whether you find a good team and have a positive experience depends entirely on your choice.

I personally came here on a Working Holiday Visa, successfully obtained my 2nd and 3rd visas, and made many friends.

Most of the team members are Japanese, along with Taiwanese and backpackers from other Asian countries.
Many people choose to stay and continue working even after completing their visa requirements.

I will never mislead anyone.
I provide up-to-date and honest information, and I will patiently answer all your questions.
Please make your decision only after you fully understand everything and feel comfortable.

If you are interested,
please provide your basic information and preferred start date.
