PALM Scheme
Used for stability, repeat seasons, and experienced agricultural workers as AgriHarvest expands its longer-horizon labour base.
Workforce Model
Resilient Workforce Model for Queensland Harvests
AgriHarvest uses three workforce pillars so no single recruitment source determines whether a harvest succeeds: PALM pathways, working holiday makers, and domestic casual labour.
24-72 hour deployment
95% show-up guarantee
Queensland-wide coverage
Recruitment Mix
Our Workforce Structure
Working Holiday Makers
Used to scale fast through agricultural job boards, backpacker networks, and regional hostels during urgent peaks.
Domestic Casual Workers
Used to strengthen local coverage, improve responsiveness, and reduce overreliance on one labour channel.
Reserve Pool
Held above confirmed deployment numbers so no-shows do not immediately become a farm emergency.
Training
Pre-Deployment Training for Crop Readiness
- Crop-specific induction before deployment
- WHS pre-start and site SWMS briefing
- Supervisor-led quality checks during the shift
- Attendance, output, and incident reporting cadence
The workforce model is not just about finding people. It is about finding, screening, training, and deploying the right people for the crop, then keeping accountability visible on-farm.
