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 Vietnam Labour Mobility Arrangement (VLMA) is a bilateral initiative between the Governments of Australia and Vietnam. It facilitates the temporary migration of up to 1,000 Vietnamese citizens annually to work in Australia’s agriculture and primary industry sectors (e.g. horticulture, meat processing, aquaculture, fisheries, and forestry) under the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme framework. Workers can stay in Australia for up to 4 years.
This Opportunity
The Vietnam Welfare Support officer (VWSO) will be responsible for helping workers arriving under the PALM Vietnam Labour Mobility Arrangement (VLMA) to settle into life in Australia by providing information, practical support and guidance. The VWSO will be the key focal point between VLMA workers and approved employers (AEs). He/she will provide on the ground support to workers and employers and help to ensure VLMA workers adapt well to life in Australia and are able to maximise their opportunities.
The VWSO role may evolve over time as the requirements of workers and support available through other existing mechanisms become clearer. This position is a casual role for 6 months, with potential for extension.

We are seeking an organisation to conduct a comprehensive study of PNG’s agriculture finance landscape, examining both supply-side and demand-side dynamics. On the supply side, the service provider will investigate the barriers preventing financial institutions—including commercial banks and licensed financial institutions—from expanding their agriculture finance portfolios. On the demand side, the service provider will explore the specific needs, expectations, and challenges faced by producers, aggregators, SMEs, and large agribusinesses across key value chains such as cocoa, coffee, oil palm, and fresh produce. By integrating global best practices with PNG-specific insights, this study will identify actionable solutions that address local market realities.
Upon concluding the data collection and analysis, the service provider will produce two primary outputs: a public report that offers a comprehensive overview of the agriculture finance landscape, and an internal roadmap with recommendations for DFAT and APEP to guide future interventions.
