Victorian horticulture businesses still have time to receive extra support during the summer harvest to attract and retain new workers – but they must hurry, the Summer Seasonal Sign-on Bonus program closes on 31 December. Horticultural businesses can promote the Summer Seasonal Sign-on Bonus as an additional incentive for jobseekers to try their hand at harvest work.
 
To be eligible, workers new to agriculture must complete 10 days of work and apply for the bonus by 31 December. Interested employers can visit the Agriculture Victoria website and download a copy of the guidelines for further information.
