How it is calculated

Calculated automatically from public information with a fixed formula — not scored by hand and not a paid ranking. Seven items are each scored 0–10 and combined as a weighted average.

✓ Meets the specified work requirementSpecified work eligibility is a threshold: locations that do not qualify are marked "Does not count"; qualifying ones get no extra points.

7.5 or above is "Recommend", 6.0–7.4 "Worth considering" and below 6.0 "Consider carefully". Items that are still to be confirmed score lower than confirmed good conditions; online ratings with few reviews are pulled towards the middle value of 6, and records of underpayment or official penalties from the last 10 years lower the score.

Pay: $33.55/hour, plus penalty rates. The ad does not say which Award applies; if the vineyard is run by a winery it may fall under the Wine Industry Award, otherwise usually the Horticulture Award, so none is shown here.
Applicable Award: To be confirmed
How you are paid: To be confirmed
By law wages must be paid in money (cash, cheque or bank transfer) at least monthly; whichever method is used, the employer must give you a payslip within 1 working day of paying you.
How often you are paid: To be confirmed
Superannuation: Yes. Your employer must also pay 12% of your wages into your super account — this applies to working holiday makers too, however much you earn. From 1 July 2026 it must be paid within 7 working days of each pay day. You can claim it back after leaving Australia (taxed at 65% for working holiday makers).
Tax: If the employer is registered as a Working Holiday employer, 15% is withheld on the first $45,000 of income. Being taxed 30% suggests the employer may not be registered; without a tax file number (TFN), 45% is withheld.

News and official records

Announced by the Fair Work Ombudsman on 2019-04-23 (republished by local media): from 2017-12 to 2018-04 Agri-Labour underpaid 19 Vanuatu seasonal workers on a tomato farm near Shepparton, Victoria, a total of $50,823 (calculating piece rates from whole-crew output, not recording hours and deducting costs such as raincoats without consent). The company back-paid the wages, paid a further $15,000 and signed an enforceable undertaking (EU, including two external audits and two years of oversight). (2019-04-23・Source)

The actual vineyard name and address are not published; the coordinates use the ABS area centre for Euston (a very large area, with its centre far north of the town).
The posting date 2026-09-08 was read from the WordPress data (wp-json) on Agri Labour's website; the ad page itself shows no date.
The ad says both Casual and "long-term, stable"; check the employment terms with the labour hire company.
Whether Working Holiday visas are accepted: not stated in the ad.
Award: not stated in the ad, and it is unclear whether the vineyard is run by the winery itself, so it is left blank.
