Children Working on Farms:

Getting the Balance Right Across Australia

Australian agriculture has always involved family participation. On many farms, children and young people gain skills, confidence and a sense of responsibility through hands on work. That reality hasn't changed, but the legal expectations around how children are involved in farm work have evolved significantly.

Across Australia, regulators now consistently treat children as a legally vulnerable worker group, requiring higher, child specific safety and wellbeing controls, particularly where plant, long hours or physically demanding work is involved.

Cultivating Mental Health In Agriculture

A New Era of Workplace Responsibility

Mental health is increasingly recognised as a critical component of workplace safety across all sectors-including agriculture. From small family farms to large-scale agribusinesses, workers are exposed to distinctive psychosocial risks, including long hours, geographic isolation, unpredictable environmental conditions, and intense physical demands. Recent regulatory reforms across Australia now require employers to identify and manage these risks, signalling a significant shift toward proactive and accountable mental health practices within the agricultural industry.
