Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme
The PALM scheme is a government initiative that connects Australian employers with workers from the Pacific Islands and Timor-Leste. The scheme fosters cultural exchange and skills development.
Employers benefit by gaining access to a diverse talent pool, infusing their workplaces with unique perspectives and expertise, that often become skilled in farm work and return each season. Pacific and Timor-Leste participants benefit from professional opportunities, upskilling, and the chance to contribute to their home countries’ economic growth.
