The Migration Amendment (Pacific Australia Labour Mobility) Regulations 2022 (the Regulations) amend the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Migration Regulations) to repeal the existing Seasonal Worker Program and Pacific Labour Scheme streams from the Subclass 403 (Temporary Work (International Relations)) visa and replace them with a new Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) stream.
The combined PALM stream provides for the entry and temporary stay of workers from countries with which Australia has arrangements across a range of industry sectors where there are identified market gaps and workforce needs including but not limited to horticulture, meat processing, dairy, wool, grains, fisheries (including aquaculture), forestry, hospitality and aged care.
