We specialise in HR and workplace safety for Australian farming businesses, from family operations to large corporate farms. Practical advice from someone who's worked in the industry, covering employment contracts, safety systems, pay compliance, and managing seasonal workers.
Answer 20 plain-English questions about your HR and WHS setup. We'll show you exactly where the gaps are, what's at risk, and what to do about it.
Principal, Headland Australia
Tessa grew up in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains and still lives and farms there today. She's not advising from a city office. She's dealing with the same seasons, the same labour headaches, and the same paperwork as the people she works with.
Before starting Headland, she spent years working in HR and WHS inside one of Australia's largest privately-held agricultural operations. She knows what good compliance looks like from the inside, and she knows what it costs when it falls apart.
Farming businesses deserve practical advice from someone who actually knows the industry. Not a generic template from someone who's never set foot on a working farm.
