Horticulture industry
Overview
If you conduct a business supplying workers to a host to perform any one or more of:
- picking
- sorting
- labelling
- packing
- planting
- thinning
- pruning
- spraying
- repetitive work on automatic, semi-automatic or single-purpose machines or equipment
- performing basic recording functions related to any of the above work
in relation to fruit or vegetables with the exercise of minimal judgment and under direct supervision, at a place where a business or undertaking is being conducted by the host, then it will be labour hire and you will require a labour hire licence. This applies regardless of whether the worker also does other kinds of work for the host.
We have launched a communication campaign to help workers in horticulture, read more on the Horticulture worker page.
