Lots of people have suggested that I should say something about myself and how Many Busy Hands came about. I am Geoff Quinn. My life’s passion has always been agriculture; my education has been in agriculture and as a career I loved breeding cattle.

Here and there I have also loved contributing to positive agricultural policy development to enhance our industries. Whether advocating to build the Cocos Island Quarantine station to bring in new genetic material for our livestock industries; the Melbourne Animal Quarantine facility for the same purpose (I bought cattle in through it); developing protocols to import frozen semen and embryos (I used this too); the establishment of the Primary Industries Bank of Australia (privatized to form Rabo Bank in Australia); or the creation of Drought Bonds that became much used IEDs.

I developed ManyBusyHands through hosting many young visitors to our country. I learned their disappointments as they worked in rural and regional Australia. The upshot – there had to be a better way. They helped design what will become our interactive website. One that will help rural and regional businesses and their workers.

Now things have changed. We want to help you whether you’re producers, processors or service providers to find reliable casual seasonal workers. If you’re Job Seekers to help you find safe and adequately rewarded seasonal work.
