Sponsored by Approved Employers and endorsed through DFAT, the program includes robust employee protections and allows workers to move between Approved Employers without weakening standards. DFAT, Home Affairs, and the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment coordinate implementation, while the Fair Work Ombudsman monitors workplace compliance. Initial scaled rollout is planned, with recruitment beginning in lower-skilled occupations.","Factsheet: Australian Agriculture Visa Program (12 April 2022)  \nThe Australian Agriculture Visa (AAV) program is being introduced to address workforce shortagesin the agriculture sector by building on existing government programs. It is a long-term contribution to Australia’s labour supply, intended to support Australia’s agricultural and primary industry sectors as they strive to reach $100 billion in value by 2030. It is a stream of the Temporary Work (International Relations) subclass 403 visa.  \n• The program delivers on the Australian Government’s commitment to put in place abroad ranging visa to support the growth of Australia’s agricultural industries.  \n• It will be available to employees across a range of agricultural sectors and skill levels.  \n• The AAV program is a sponsored visa program, operating with Approved Employers endorsed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and robust employee protections.  \n• The program will provide flexibility for workers to move between Approved Employers without compromising workforce standards and undermining worker protections.  \n• The program will supplement the existing Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM)  \nscheme. The PALM scheme will remain the primary scheme for meeting agricultural workforce shortages, including for this harvest, as well as the range of visa options available through the Department of Home Affairs.  \n• To date, Vietnam has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) .  \n• Australia is in negotiations with a number of Southeast Asian partners keen to participate in the AAV program. Some of these discussions are advanced. Specific announcements will follow as appropriate.  \n• India has been invited to participate in the AAV program as part of the Interim AustraliaIndia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA) . Consistent with the process and conditions for other participating countries, an MoU would first need to be agreed before any workers could arrive. Should an MoU be concluded, we would expect the first workers to arrive in 2023.  \n• As we progress to implementation DFAT will work closely with industry and other stakeholders to undertake the inaugural steps. There will be a key role for industry in progressing recruitment activities with relevant stakeholders.  \nHow is the AAV program being implemented?  \n• The AAV program is managed by DFAT leveraging its experience with the successful PALM scheme.  \n• The Department of Home Affairs is responsible for processing all visa and sponsorship applications, as well as providing operational support with the Australian Border Force to ensure ongoing visa integrity.  \n• The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is responsible for ensuring that the needs of relevant primary industry sectors are being met.  \n• The Fair Work Ombudsman is responsible for promoting and monitoring compliance with workplace laws.  \nWhen will the AAV program start and when can we expect employees to arrive?  \n• A scaled approach to establishing the program has been agreed with industry.  \n• DFAT is working with a group of employers to bring in an initial group of employees.  \no This will allow us to test systems and processes before the program’s expansion throughout 2022 when we expect a steady increase in employees arriving in Australia.  \no Initially, recruitment will focus on lower skilled occupations, and this will be expanded as the program evolves.  \n• As we progress to implementation DFAT will work closely with industry and other stakeholders to undertake the inaugural steps. There will be a key role for industry in progressing recruitment activities with relevant stakeholders.  \no See Frequently Asked Questions document for further information.  \n• Employer application and eligibility requirements for broader employer participation will be published on DFAT’s AAV program website once they are confirmed.  \n• The program mandates that only Approved Employers can participate, and that t","cbCaitZjCP3K3k6L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitZjCP3K3k6L","pdf",214034,1,"English","en",105,"# Program overview\n## Purpose and scope\n## Governance and compliance\n# Implementation and timing\n## Rollout approach\n## Employer participation\n# Participating countries\n## Vietnam\n## Other regional partners\n# Covered sectors and skills\n## Target occupations and skill levels\n## Worker eligibility","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Australian Agriculture Visa (AAV) program?\",\"answer\":\"The AAV program is designed to address workforce shortages in Australia’s agriculture and primary industry sectors.
