Which countries are involved?New recruitments delayed
International travel restrictions and quarantine requirements of states and territories are significantly delaying new recruitments under the Pacific Labour Scheme at this time.
Consequently, we are currently focusing on the highest recruitment priorities of current approved employers and pausing new approved employer applications, until prospects for recruitment by new approved employers improve.
We will keep you informed of changes to the current situation and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
