Head Stockman – Birrindudu Station
Station Hand
The station hand contributes to the livestock program by undertaking duties such as handling and monitoring of livestock, machinery operation and maintenance, general station maintenance and repairs, and land management.

Although not always necessary, applicants are generally expected to have good horse handling skills.

Enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and an enjoyment for outdoor life are essential.

A couple of things you should be aware of:
- most of our stations have limited spots to fill each season
- when managers have only a few spots to fill, they may be more picky about someone’s experience with cattle and horses,
- the season runs from about March until November, and someone who can commit to this whole period will normally be favoured over someone who can’t,
- you will only hear from our managers if they have a position suitable to your skills and experience.
