Farm Hand Wanted – Flinders Island

Farm Hand Wanted – Flinders Island

For 2026 & 2027

We’re seeking a reliable, experienced Farm Hand to join our family-run large Angus cattle farm on Flinders Island.

This is a full-time, long-term role (minimum two years) for someone who enjoys hands-on cattle work and values being part of a small, committed team.

The work includes:

• Daily cattle work (mustering, calving, herd health)

• General farm maintenance – fencing, water systems, pastures

• Operating machinery safely and efficiently

• Working alongside a small team and family owners

We’re looking for someone with:

• Hands-on cattle or farm experience (2+ years preferred)

• Practical skills and a strong work ethic

• Initiative, reliability, and the ability to work independently

• A current Australian driver’s licence

What we offer:

• On-farm accommodation

• A secure, long-term role

• The chance to live and work in a close-knit island community

🌱 A great opportunity for a couple or family

This role is well suited to couples or families looking for a genuine lifestyle change. Alongside the farm, our family also runs On Island Time, a visitor experience and accommodation business on Flinders Island. There is strong potential for a partner to access paid work in tourism, hospitality, guiding, retail, or guest experiences, depending on skills and season.

Flinders Island sits in Bass Strait — just a short flight from Melbourne or Launceston, but it truly feels a world away. Life here is slower, grounded, and deeply connected to land and sea — wide-open spaces, rugged coastlines, fishing, beaches, and strong community spirit.
