Station Hand

  • Anywhere

All Stations

The station hand contributes to the livestock program by undertaking duties such as handling and monitoring of livestock, machinery operation and maintenance, general station maintenance and repairs, and land management.

Although not always necessary, applicants are generally expected to have good horse handling skills.

Enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and enjoyment of the outdoor life are essential.

Being a successful family-owned business that has operated for over 35 years, we understand the importance of balancing work and lifestyle, with opportunities to attend social events, campdrafts, rodeos, to visiting local gorges, do a spot of fishing, or enjoy a BBQ with some friendly in-house competitions.

A couple of things you should be aware of:

  • most of our stations have limited spots to fill each season.
  • when managers have only a few spots to fill, they may be more selective about someone’s experience with cattle and horses.
  • the season runs from about March until November, and someone who can commit to this whole period will normally be favoured over someone who can’t.
  • you will only hear from our managers if they have a position suitable for your skills and experience.

Offering competitive day rate, air-conditioned single accommodation, meals and Wi-Fi on the station.

All positions are currently filled; however, we are still taking applications to go on a waitlist.

All application form fields marked with an asterik (*) are required unless stated optional.
