PACIFIC AUSTRALIA LABOUR MOBILITY (PALM) SCHEME SUPPORT PROGRAM
Labour mobility is one of the primary economic opportunities available to the working-age population in the region, with the potential to generate significant economic and social benefits for workers (e.g. financial income, work experience and skills development including formal qualifications); their home countries (e.g. unemployment relief, development of human and financial capital, reduction in finance trade deficits and investment in community assets); and Australia (e.g. alleviation of labour shortages, increased production and greater competitiveness). A ‘triple win’.
The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme is Australia’s primary temporary migration program for unskilled, low-skilled, and semi-skilled workers, enabling Australian employers to recruit workers from nine Pacific Island Countries (PICs) (Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, PNG, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu) and Timor-Leste to fill positions where local workers are not available.
