Palladium is a global company working to design, develop and deliver positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of people around the globe. We operate in over 90 countries and have a workforce of more than 4,000 talented, motivated, and diverse staff of all religions, races, languages, and gender identities. Palladium is contracted to deliver PLMSP on behalf of Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
The Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program (PLMSP) is seeking to engage a website developer to design and develop a website for the Government of Timor Leste's labour mobility sector.
PLMSP is managed by Palladium International and has been established as a trusted intermediary in supporting Australia-Pacific circular labour mobility. Timor-Leste is a participant in labour mobility schemes with Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.
Australia’s Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme allows eligible Australian businesses to hire workers from 9 Pacific islands and Timor-Leste – when there are shortages of local workers available in unskilled, low-skilled, and semiskilled positions within Australia. Under the PALM scheme workers have the opportunity to come and work in Australia on a seasonal or long-term basis. This helps to fill labour gaps in rural and regional Australia and allows workers to develop skills and send income to support their families and communities back in their home countries.
Delivery of the PALM scheme is split within the Australian Government with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) providing the operational delivery within Australia, and with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) overseeing the strategic policy and Pacific-facing implementation of the scheme.
The Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program (PLMSP) works with DFAT to support the administration of the PALM scheme and facilitate opportunities for Australian employers to connect with workers from the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
The New Zealand scheme is known as the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme, the Korean scheme is known as EPS TOPIK Korea and the Japanese scheme is known as Technical Intern Training (TIT) Japan.
Timor-Leste’s participation in these labour mobility programs is managed by the Timor-Leste National Directorate of Overseas Employment (DNEE) which is part of the Government of Timor-Leste’s Secretary of State for Training and Employment (SEFOPE).
