Great to be member of WA Shearing Industry Association. An association who has worked very hard to put this initiative together to help WA shearing contractors retain and support workers during the off season and keep them in regional towns.

It was great to have Carol from Shedway come and have a chat with our staff. Not only can all the crew catch up over a good meal, they learn a few tips on how to look out for each other when things may get tough. Please support sHedway and get them in to do a toolbox talk with your team
