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 (PLMSP) builds on the successes of the Pacific Labour Facility (PLF) program, with a renewed focus on the provision of tailored support to worker sending countries to address their specific needs and priorities. Palladium is contracted to deliver PLMSP on behalf of Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

PLMSP’s role is to provide 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. PLMSP’s primary functions include capacity building for PALM scheme labour sending units; skills development and training for PALM workers; support for returning PALM workers and their families; information system management; monitoring, evaluation, research and learning; and communications.

The Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program (PLMSP), on behalf of Partner Governments of Pacific Nations and Timor-Leste ("the Partner Government") are seeking to engage a professional Employer of Record (EOR) and/or Third-Party Payroll (TPP) service provider. This engagement is to facilitate the compliant employment of Country Liaison Officers (CLOs) based in Australia to provide support to participants of the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme.
