Thanks Ralph! Appreciate your post and welcome! 👋🏻
In Australia, visa opportunities are generally tied to specific occupations, so it would really help if you could tell us more about the type of farm work you’ve done in the past.
For example, have you worked with livestock, harvested fruit, operated machinery, or done irrigation or fencing work? The more details you provide, the better we can guide you toward relevant options.
Looking at your profile I see you’re from Papua New Guinea. As such, there might be additional pathways available to you, such as the Seasonal Worker Programme or the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme, which are designed for citizens of participating Pacific nations.
These programs allow workers to come to Australia for short-term farm and regional work.
Also, depending on your age, you might be eligible for a Working Holiday visa (subclass 462), which Papua New Guinea is part of. This visa allows young people to work and travel in Australia for up to 12 months.
Could you please share a bit more about your age, previous experience, and what kind of farm work you’re most confident doing?
I look forward to hearing more so I can give the most relevant advice.
Cheers, Mark

Thanks mark! Ok in Papua new guinea we normally do farms like gardening cutting down trees and do hard work so I think fruit picking and packing should be suitable for me.
Anyways my age is 28 born -snipped-

Thanks for the details, Ralph!
It sounds like you have a lot of relevant experience for fruit picking and packing, which is great! With your background, you might be a good fit for Australia’s Seasonal Worker Programme, which is designed for people from the Pacific Islands to work in agriculture, including fruit picking and packing.
Additionally, since you’re 28, you might also be eligible for the Working Holiday visa (subclass 462) if you meet the age and other requirements. This visa would let you work while exploring Australia for up to 12 months, with opportunities to work in agriculture and other industries.
I suggest looking into these options and applying for relevant farm roles in Australia. Seek.com.ai and indeed.com.ai are good starting points from a job site perspective. For jobs with visa sponsorship, you can check out 482jobs.com to find listings related to farm work that could support your visa application.
Feel free to ask if you need further guidance on the visa process or job search!
Cheers, Mark
