  • changes to who is considered suitable to hold a labour hire licence, and on what basis
  • new information that licence holders and applicants must supply to LHA

Report back: Yarra Valley Grower’s Forum

On 25 June 2026, Yarra Valley horticulture and viticulture businesses attended a joint LHA and FWO growers’ forum in Healesville, to discuss common issues in the region and ways for providers and hosts to improve compliance.

Around 36 representatives from the Yarra Valley horticulture and viticulture industries attended the forum, including local growers, labour hire providers, and industry bodies.

Growers were provided with guidance on protecting themselves from the risk of business disruption and fines, and involvement with criminal elements, when engaging labour hire services. Speakers took questions from the audience and heard constructive suggestions to support compliance with the law.

Details and registrations for all upcoming sessions are available on the Events page.
