Farm Job Opportunities for Ghanaians
Hi, I am Alexander, a 24year old from Ghana. I hold a first class Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture and currently working as a farm hand in Ghana. I’d like to pursue my Masters degree but due to financial limitations, it feels impossible. Are there Farm hand or labourer jobs I could do in Australia to gather capital for my academic aspirations?

Hi Alexander, thanks for your message and welcome to Oz Visa Forum 👋🏻
Yes, there are opportunities in Australia for farm labourers and farm hands that offer visa sponsorship. These jobs can provide valuable experience and income, but it’s important to be realistic as there will be upfront costs involved in the visa process that may limit how much you can save for future studies.
To work in Australia, you’ll likely need to apply under a visa like the Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa, possibly through a Labour Agreement or DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement), especially for farm-related roles. Your work as a farm hand fits under ANZSCO 841611 (Farm Worker) or 841999 (Labourers not elsewhere classified).
While jobs offering sponsorship do exist, visa applicants typically cover costs such as:
-
English language testing (e.g., IELTS or PTE Academic)
-
Health examinations
-
Visa application fees
-
Flights and initial settlement costs

In summary, while it’s possible to work and save money in Australia, the initial costs mean it might not be a fast way to fund your studies. But it can still be a valuable long-term step in your journey.
All the best and feel free to reach out with more questions.
