NSW DPI Agriculture would appreciate primary producers taking the time to submit a survey on seasonal workforce needs. The survey aims to esablish the baseline seasonal workforce demand in agriculture, fishing and forestry, and will go towards investigating and addressing issues with seasonal labour shortages.

The questions will capture information on the number of both ongoing and seasonal workers you need for your business, the specific skill sets you need, and when you need them. It is also seeking information about accommodation requirements for workers.

This survey is open until 23 December.
