What we do

People and safety systems tailored to your operation.

No two operations run the same, so we don't hand out a one-size-fits-all people and safety solution. We start with where you're at, build what fits your farm, and stay in your corner as things change. HR, WHS and payroll, made achievable.

We don't hand you a folder of policies and wish you luck.

Plenty of people will sell you templates, or point out everything you're doing wrong. We do the opposite. We package it all into one people and safety solution built for your farm, your season and your people. You still end up compliant. It just feels like a farm that runs better, not a box you ticked.

A clear path from "not sure" to sorted.

Same approach whether you've got two staff or two hundred. We scale it to your operation, not the other way around.

STEP 1

See where you stand

Start with the free Headland Check, or we come on-farm and walk it with you. No guessing about where the gaps are.

STEP 2

A plan built for your operation

Contracts, policies, pay and safety systems shaped around how you run. Not generic templates with someone else's name crossed out.

STEP 3

Get it in place

Inductions, training, the team across what good looks like. The paperwork becomes something people actually use.

STEP 4

We stay in your corner

Rules change, incidents happen, questions come up. You've got someone to call before a people problem becomes a Fair Work problem.

The Farm Compliance Review.

One fixed price. One straight answer on where you stand.

Half a day with Tessa, on-farm or remote. We go through your contracts, pay setup, safety paperwork and policies, and you get a written report on what's solid, what's exposed, and what to fix first. No lock-in to anything further. Plenty of farms take the report and run with it themselves.

What you get
  • Half a day working through your actual documents, on-farm or remote
  • Contracts, pay and classifications, WHS paperwork and policies, all reviewed
  • A written gap report with a clear rating for each area
  • A prioritised fix list: what's urgent, what can wait, and what it'll take
  • A straight conversation about the results, with no obligation to go further
From $2,800 + GST
Exact price confirmed before we start, based on size and complexity. No surprises.

However much help you want from there.

Some farms take the report and run with it themselves using the templates in Farm Resources. Some want us alongside them while they work through the fixes. Some hand the whole people-and-safety side over, payroll included. There's no package to pick up front. It's shaped around your operation, and it all starts with the same conversation. And when it comes to actually finding and placing the right people, we point farms to our recruitment partner Drover Ag.

Frequently asked questions about HR support for farms and how we work.

How do you work out what my farm actually needs?

We start with a proper look at where you're at, either the free Headland Check or an on-farm review. From there we build a plan around your operation, your team and your season, and you decide how much you take on yourself versus hand over. No two farms get the same cookie-cutter setup.

How much does it cost?

Depends on what you need and how much you want handled. The Farm Compliance Review is a fixed price, from $2,800 + GST. The Farm Resources templates are free or low-cost and self-paced. Guided support runs on fixed-fee packages or hourly. Fully managed and payroll are ongoing. You'll get a straight quote after a short conversation about your operation, no surprises.

Do you work with small family farms or just larger operations?

Both. The smallest clients have a handful of staff. The largest have hundreds of workers across multiple sites. The obligations don't change much with size, the systems just need to fit the operation. Most farms sit somewhere in between.

Do I have to sign up for everything at once?

No. Start with the one thing that's keeping you up at night and go from there. Most farms fix the urgent gap first, then build out the rest over time. Whatever we set up carries through as you grow.

Can I start small and add more later?

Yes, and most do. Grab the templates and handle it yourself, lean on us when something tricky comes up, or hand the lot over. You can move between them as the operation changes. The systems we build carry through each step.
