Farm Salary Survey 2023
Report now available
Released January 2024
Ensuring your farm salary is competitive is part of keeping employees happy and ensuring appropriate reward for effort. To do so means understanding not only the Pastoral Award, but also the employment marketplace. You need to know you are offering competitive wages and conditions.
Usually, the Pinion Advisory Farm Salary Survey is undertaken every second year but given a rapidly changing market the survey was updated in late 2023.
Data was collected for 122 positions from 87 farming businesses to understand hours of work, current wages, recent wage increases, additional benefits provided and wage review intentions for 2024.
The report means that you can benchmark your remuneration packages against a snapshot of the market. Explore questions such as:
What are farm employees being paid?
How many normal and overtime hours are typically worked?
What employee wage structures are being used?
What are the most common additional benefits that are offered?
