The Pastoral Award 2020 covers employers throughout Australia in the pastoral industry in respect of work done by their employees as listed in the classifications, to the exclusion of any other Modern Award.
“Pastoral industry” involves the management, breeding, rearing or grazing of livestock or poultry, the shearing and crutching of sheep and the classing and pressing of wool on farms, dairying, hatchery work, the sowing, raising or harvesting of broadacre field crops and other crops grown as part of a broadacre mixed farming enterprise, the treatment of land for any of these purposes or clearing, fencing, well sinking, dam sinking or trenching on such farms or properties.
Employees performing work listed in Clause 4.3 will not be covered by the Pastoral Award 2010, as these will be covered by the relevant occupation or industry award.
