The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme All workers are protected by the same workplace rights and laws as Australian workers, and additional measures are in place to support the wellbeing of workers while they live and work in Australia.Ĭountries currently participating in Pacific labour mobility are Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. The wellbeing of Pacific and Timor-Leste workers is a priority for the Australian, Pacific and Timor-Leste governments. This offers Australian employers access to reliable, productive workers who also contribute to the cultural and economic vibrancy of communities across Australia. Pacific and Timor-Leste workers help to fill labour gaps in regional and rural Australia, and agriculture nationally. Pacific labour mobility also helps create strong links between people, businesses, and communities, fostering deeper connections between Australia and our neighbours. It delivers jobs for Pacific and Timor-Leste workers, enabling them to develop skills, earn income and support their families back home. Pacific labour mobility is central to the Australian Government’s commitment to build a stronger Pacific family.
