Chilli Picker, Bundaberg (3-Month Farm Work, Accommodation and Transport)

Grosvenor Backpackers, a working hostel in Bundaberg, Queensland, is recruiting twelve people for chilli picking on local farms, starting around 28 October 2026 for roughly three months at 30 to 40 hours a week. Workers must arrive in Bundaberg by 23 October for check-in and induction. Pay is AUD 25.74 an hour under the Horticulture Award. The work is fast-paced and physical, mostly outdoors, and there may be more orchard work after the chilli season. Workers are employed and paid directly by the farmer, and the hostel handles induction and daily transport. Accommodation and daily transport are available through the hostel, but the cost is not stated. The listing does not say whether the work counts toward a second-year working holiday visa, so confirm that with the employer.
