Current Job Opportunities
Tractor Operator / Farmhand – Free-Range Poultry Farm (full-time)
If you enjoy being outdoors, working with your hands and being part of a farm where your work genuinely matters, this could be a great fit.
Mulloon Creek Natural Farms is a busy, hands-on, regenerative and free-range poultry farm looking for a reliable, motivated person to join us full-time. The days are varied and active. You’ll be trusted to work independently and alongside the team, keeping everything running smoothly, neatly and to a high standard.
What the role involves:
- Driving and operating tractors (training provided if needed)
- Basic tractor and equipment maintenance
- Running feed and water systems
- Moving sheds onto fresh pasture and preparing paddocks for incoming flocks
- Monitoring chicken health and welfare
- Catching and relocating chickens
- Keeping sheds, yards and equipment clean and in good condition
- Operating motors and farm systems
- General farm duties as required
You may also assist in other areas from time to time, including egg grading, high-pressure washing, brooder shed care and grain mill/feed production.
You’ll be a good fit if you:

- have strong attention to detail and can spot when something’s not right
- can follow instructions clearly and make sensible decisions independently
- communicate well and work effectively as part of a team
- enjoy a fast-paced, hands-on environment

The details:
- Full-time: 40 hours per week
- Award rates with sick leave and annual leave
- Valid driver’s licence required; must be able to drive a manual
