Keeping safe in horticulture this season

Horticulture online information sessions

This harvest season may bring growers additional challenges, including changing markets, seasonal worker shortages, and the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

It can be hard staying across what’s required to keep yourself and your workers, family and visitors safe.

Agriculture Victoria and WorkSafe Victoria, along with the Labour Hire Authority, the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions and the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) are working together to run harvest webinars in February and March to assist horticulture producers to navigate the latest requirements. Our operational staff can answer your questions and provide additional information.

The sessions are for horticulture businesses and industry groups.

The next webinars will be held 4-5pm virtually via Teams Meetings on the following dates so you can choose the one that best suits you:

• Wednesday 16 February
• Wednesday 2 March.

A link to the online session will be provided in your registration confirmation email.
