JBS Australia, part of the global JBS business, is the largest and most respected meat and food processor in Australia with a strong portfolio of leading beef, lamb, pork, salmon and value-added products.

The plant employs approximately 420 team members with a processing capacity of 600 head of cattle per day, operating 5 days per week.
