The Department of Home Affairs is hosting a free online information session on Tuesday, 28th July 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (AEST), for employers interested in recruiting workers from the Pacific Islands and Timor-Leste under the PALM scheme and the Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV).
The PALM scheme is a temporary, employer-sponsored visa for unskilled to semi-skilled roles, available for short-term (up to nine months) or long-term (one to four years) placements, particularly suited to agriculture and regional labour needs. The PEV is a permanent residence pathway that requires an offer of ongoing employment, after which holders may work in any occupation, anywhere in Australia.
The session will include presentations from the Department of Employment and Workforce Relations (PALM overview) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (PEV Support Service), followed by a Q&A with subject matter experts.
