Work with us
Come and join the Wattle Bank Farm team, working on on beautiful Bunurong country just minutes from the seaside town of Inverloch. We have short term, long term and volunteer opportunities as part of Friends of Wattle Bank Farm kicking off February 2026.
We’ve built Wattle Bank Farm from the ground up by offering natural horsemanship experiences, created a closed loop food production system growing gourmet mushrooms commercially and providing an off grid farm stay where families and friends could come and reconnect with nature and wellness.
Our philosophy is about leaving the place better than we found it. Contribution, collaboration and connection with community are vital ingredients of our culture. We love to share business for good and we love to share a place with those who may not have access to nature, food and interaction with nature. If you are looking for a dynamic and intentional career shift, please contact us.
