COVID-19 UPDATE

The McGowan Government and FoodAllianceWA have today launched a dedicated program to support jobs and fill labour shortages in the agriculture and food industry across Western Australia in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new website – http://www.jobsinwafoodandag.com – will allow workers seeking employment in regional WA to register their interest and connect with regional employers, labour hire companies and recruitment businesses looking for casual, skilled and unskilled workers.

Farmers can search the new online database to find workers with specific skills and qualifications, such as forklift tickets, construction white cards or livestock experience.

Southern Dirt has passed your messages to government and will continue to do so during this crisis. Send an email to ceo@southerndirt.com.au with any issues or concerns.
