A nationwide program to motivate/mobilise/assist former ADF servicemen and women to work in our National Grain Harvest
Our mission is straightforward:
To work with Grain Producers to harvest this year's bumper crop
An important secondary objective is to provide former and retired ADF members with an opportunity to earn good wages doing seasonal harvest work in the Grains Industry. For some, this could be the start of annual harvest work, as a superannuation/pre-summer holiday top up or caravan update program. For a few, it could even be the start of a new career as a well-travelled professional Grain Harvester, operating similar machines at good rates in many locations around the world.
Follow this process to help ensure we not only achieve the mission but to ensure Grain Producers and former ADF members get the most out of this opportunity.
A number of the process steps assist the volunteer project organiser's to manage the project and to provide support and manage issues, when required.
OPGHA endeavour to provide training for Veterans before they arrive on the farm to work.
In September 2022, with great support from major sponsor CASE IH Australia and O'Connors, Australia's largest CASE IH dealership, as well as a range of other industry sponsors, we conducted training for 18 Veterans at the renowned Longerenong Agricultural College in Horsham. Further training is planned, both on an attendance and on-line basis. Details will be available on our Facebook pages. See 'Additional Information' in the Home Page header (above).
Unfortunately the AgMove Program has been discontinued by the Federal Government.
