About Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program    ​

The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme is a signature initiative for the Australian Government that enables workers from 9 Pacific Island Countries (PICs) and Timor- Leste to work in priority sectors in Australia. The Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program’s (PLMSP) role is to provide the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and governments in 9 PICs and Timor-Leste with support to enable workers to access PALM scheme in inclusive ways that maximise the benefits for the workers and national economies while minimising risks from labour mobility participation. Palladium is contracted to deliver PLMSP on behalf of DFAT.  

The GEDSI Strategy Adviser will provide strategic and responsive advice on Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) areas. The adviser will work closely with the GEDSI team, the Disability Inclusion Adviser, and PLMSP staff, leveraging lessons learned from previous strategies and existing data.

This is a short-term opportunity required up to 45 days to 30 September 2025, with a number of milestones deadlines in April, May and end of July.
