Even with ABN verification, it's important to thoroughly evaluate each farm before applying. Here's what to look for when browsing verified farms on 88Finder.
While 88Finder verifies all farms through ABN checks, it's crucial to recognize warning signs of potential scams. If you encounter any of these red flags, do not proceed with the application.
Legitimate farms never ask for money before you start work. Avoid any employer requesting fees for "processing", "accommodation deposits", or "equipment".
If a farm cannot provide an ABN or refuses verification, it's likely not a legitimate business. All farms on 88Finder are ABN-verified.
Be wary of farms promising $50+/hour for basic picking work. Typical rates are $25-35/hour. Exaggerated claims often indicate scams.
Scammers create urgency to prevent you from researching. Legitimate farms allow time to consider offers and ask questions.
Unprofessional emails, spelling errors, or reluctance to provide details are warning signs. Real farms communicate clearly.
Legitimate farms have verifiable physical locations. Be suspicious of employers who only provide P.O. boxes or refuse location details.
88Finder categorizes verified farms by industry type, making it easy to find work that matches your interests and skills. Each category has different work conditions, pay rates, and seasonal availability.

Search Verified Farms NowWe verify every farm through the Australian Business Register (ABR) using their ABN. This confirms the business is legitimate, active, and registered with the Australian government.
Reliability scores (1-5 stars) rate farms based on ABN verification, business age, GST registration, worker reviews, and contact information completeness. Higher scores indicate more established, trustworthy employers.
All farms are ABN-verified, but we recommend checking reliability scores, reading worker reviews, and evaluating each farm carefully before applying. Look for green flags and avoid red flags.
Low scores (1-2 stars) often indicate new businesses with limited verification data. They may be legitimate but require extra caution. Check reviews, ask detailed questions, and verify all information before committing.
Report suspicious farms to 88Finder immediately. Never pay upfront fees, and verify all information independently. Contact Fair Work Australia or local authorities if you encounter fraudulent activity.
We regularly update farm verification status to ensure businesses remain active and compliant. ABN checks are performed periodically, and reliability scores are adjusted based on new reviews and data.
