The new GAP Year
have fun, earn money
&
get outta town
Each year Australian farmers rely on overseas seasonal workers and backpackers to help harvest the fruit and vegetables that land on our plates. Our regional and rural communities also rely on a similar workforce to manage the increased demand during peak seasons.
But COVID has closed our borders - Australia's fruit and vegetable farmers need seasonal workers to harvest their crops and our communities need workers for hospitality venues.
Without this workforce crops will be wasted, there'll be less on our shelves, prices may rise and next year’s harvest may be compromised.
That’s why Thankful4Farmers has launched The NEW GAP Year, calling on school leavers and young Aussies to create an alternative rite-of-passage - to Go And Pick (helping the agriculture industry) and to Go And Pour (helping the hospitality industry). Travelling around the country for the adventure of a lifetime, helping save the livelihoods of farmers and communities facing unparalleled labour shortages as a result of COVID and helping put food and drinks on the tables of Aussie families.
