While many industries are brought to a grinding halt due to COVID restrictions, horticulture continues to plough on with the need for people to perform critical roles within the industry.

MADEC Harvest Trail Services continues to deliver business as usual to both growers and workers through restrictions and lockdowns.

MADEC Harvest Trail Services have developed and will continue to develop methods that allow a fluid connection between growers and workers at all times. While the preference will always be face-to-face, a contactless service delivery can be provided where restrictions are in place.

Growers
Whilst we may be restricted in conducting site visits our experienced Harvest Office Managers are still able to assist with recruitment and coordinate marketing strategies in finding your business staff, making themselves available through alternative means of contact.

MADEC Harvest Trail Services continue to offer pre-employment screening and work entitlement checks at all stages of employment, whether that be when recruiting new staff, or checking the work entitlement status of current employees.  MADEC Harvest Trail Services provides workers with a MADEC Work Entitlement Card, looking similar to a photo ID, the card details the expiry date of anyone on a VISA with work entitlements.

Planning for the future and discussing recruitment needs leading into peak recruitment periods can easily be facilitated.  Contact your local MADEC Harvest Office Manager by clicking here, alternatively, you can call the Harvest Trail Information Service on 1800 062 332 and be transferred directly to your local office.
