    If you are backpacking Australia and looking for work, this post will help you find fruit picking jobs in Victoria.

    At GAFFL we know that it can be difficult to find fruit picking work in Australia. There are a few websites out there that are great for finding fruit picking jobs but there are also websites that ask you for money before showing you any job listings. There are farms all over Australia that have openings but don’t post them. We’ve devised a way for backpackers in Australia to find these jobs free of any costs. We have also written about how to find fruit picking work in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. This post will focus on helping you with fruit picking in Victoria. Additionally, you try checking out our many hostel guides to fruit picking jobs in Australia

    Here’s how it works: choose a location that is currently harvesting a fruit/crop and then contact a farm in that area to find out if they have an opening. We have provided you with contact details for different farms in the area, as well as ideas about other things to do, information about accommodations, and directions on how to get there. We retrieved most of the contact information below from the yellow pages or Facebook. We don't have any affiliation with the farms or wineries listed below.

    Before contacting the farms directly, you may have luck finding fruit picking work in Victoria by browsing through the Australian Government’s Harvest website. All of the harvest information below was directly sourced from the Australian Government’s Harvest website.

    Another great way to find harvest work is to contact the Harvest Labour Service provider in your area. You can find their contacts here.
