General information only
All content on RuralMatch Australia — including the Harvest Calendar, 88-Day Visa guide, postcode checker, New to Australia resources, Worker Rights pages, and any other guides — is provided as general information only. It is not legal advice, migration advice, financial advice, tax advice, or medical advice.
Not migration advice
Visa rules, postcode lists, and 88-day eligibility criteria are set by the Australian Government and may change at any time. We make every effort to keep information current, but we do not guarantee it is accurate, complete, or up-to-date. Always check the official Department of Home Affairs website (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au) or speak to a registered migration agent before making decisions about your visa.
Not employment or recruitment advice
RuralMatch is a platform that connects workers and employers. We do not vet, endorse, or guarantee any employer, worker, or job listing. Workers should do their own due diligence before accepting any role and should never hand over money, passports, or original documents to an employer.
Harvest seasons vary
Harvest periods listed on the Platform are typical ranges only. Actual timing varies year-to-year based on weather, region, and farm. Always contact employers directly to confirm current dates.
Pay rates and worker rights
Information about minimum wages, superannuation, and worker rights reflects publicly available rules at the time of writing. Rates and rules change. For the official current rates, see fairwork.gov.au or call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94.
Third-party links
The Platform contains links to third-party websites (e.g. government, services, partners). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those sites.
No warranty
To the maximum extent permitted by law, RuralMatch makes no warranty or representation about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or suitability of any information on the Platform. You use the information at your own risk.
