It streamlines the SWP and PLS by offering a single application process, giving new employers the option to recruit seasonal and/or longer-term workers and enabling existing employers that meet the eligibility criteria the option to be mutually recognised under both programs. The PALM scheme provides additional flexibilities in program and visa settings, including expanded access to Pacific and Timorese workers for employers in regional and rural areas facing workforce shortages.
