The PALM Scheme visa allows workers from participating Pacific countries to work temporarily in specific industries or sectors in Australia to address identified labour shortages.
The scheme is open to citizens of Pacific countries that have entered into bilateral agreements with Australia, including Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
Seasonal Work and Non-Seasonal Work Streams: The PALM Scheme Visa offers two streams:
For individuals employed in seasonal agricultural work, such as fruit picking, harvesting, and farm labour.
For individuals employed in non-seasonal industries, such as construction, hospitality, and aged care.
The duration of stay under the PALM Scheme visa depends on the specific work arrangement and the needs of the sponsoring employer. It can range from a few months to several years.
Workers must be sponsored by approved employers in Australia who have demonstrated a genuine need for labour in their respective industries or sectors.
