Backed by more than 20 years of hands on experience managing vineyard workforces, we supply growers and wineries with workers who arrive ready, work to standard, and keep your operation fully compliant.
VINTRIM is a South Australian labour hire business specialising in the supply of vineyard workers to grape growers and wineries across the state. While recently established, it is built on a foundation of more than two decades of practical experience recruiting, training and supervising vineyard crews through every stage of the growing season.
We understand that a vineyard runs on timing. When pruning or vintage windows open, you need the right crew on the ground quickly, and we can provide an experienced, well managed workforce for your peace of mind.
Since 29 July 2026, every labour hire provider in South Australia must hold a valid licence, and any host that engages an unlicensed provider faces significant penalties. VINTRIM is fully licensed and meets each obligation below, removing that exposure from your operation.
Issued by Consumer and Business Services (CBS). Details provided on request.
Public liability and workers compensation cover (ReturnToWorkSA) for every worker on your site.
Documented WHS systems, site inductions, PPE provided, and cooperation with your SafeWork SA obligations as the host.
ABN registered, tax and superannuation compliant, with clear invoicing and records.
Sourcing reliable workers and training them in correct technique so quality is consistent from the first vine to the last.
Experienced team leaders on site who manage the crew, set the pace and answer to you, so you are not left directing a group of strangers.
Scaling crews up and down to meet pruning and vintage demand without leaving you short at the critical moment.
Clear standards, on the row checks and a focus on doing the job right the first time, whether on hourly or piece rates.
