Staff retention challenges and the subsequent impact on productivity pose significant hurdles for businesses. However, a strategic solution exists in the form of the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme. At Jobs Australia Enterprises Ltd (JAE), we specialise in simplifying this labour hire process for businesses, offering a comprehensive solution tailored to your needs.
Since its inception, JAE has been an approved employer under the Australian Federal Government’s Seasonal Worker Program, now recognised as the PALM Scheme. We provide Australian employers with a highly productive dependable and returning workforce. Through our recruitment efforts, we not only meet your labour requirements but also contribute to the economic development of participating countries, including Pacific Islands and Timor-Leste.
At Jobs Australia Enterprises Ltd, we streamline the PALM scheme process for you. From worker recruitment to Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) administrative compliance, applicant screening, payroll, visa processing, accommodation, transport, and pastoral support for workers, we handle it all. Our aim is to alleviate the burdens associated with staffing, allowing you to focus on your core business activities.
With over 14 years of experience in the PALM program we know what it takes to select workers that meet your needs. Our customers are specific about their requirements, and using our knowledge and experience we will recruit workers from the appropriate sending country that will suit best. Our method is not a “one shoe fits all” approach but a tailored recruit based on what our customers tell us they need. Big and strong, small, and nimble, and everything in between! We have the experience and knowledge to get this right.
We are proud of our recruitment success rate, and the percentage of workers that are asked to return by our customers is evidence that we have this right. We land the right workers on site, on time!
We are a successful not for profit organisation that has been looking after Australians, and Australian businesses for over 30 years. We have a reputation as a caring and community minded organisation that gives back to the communities that we work in, we don’t just talk about it, we put our money where our mouth is, check out our social enterprises. We are extremely competitive in business and run profitable commercial enterprises that in turn fund our social enterprises and the expansion of our business.
Our reputation is that of an organisation of integrity – honesty, we do not cheat or take anything we are not entitled to, and professionalism, we do what we do well, and we own our mistakes and fix them promptly. One of the many advantages of working with us is our exemption from payroll tax, this is something we pass on to our customers providing significant cost savings for your business.
In February 2024 we launched Jobs Australia (Vanuatu), a labour agency based in Port Vila, aimed at enhancing the PALM Scheme process for our business and our customers. This expansion allows for streamlined recruitment submissions, faster DEWR assessments, centralised screening and mobilisation control, and direct support for workers’ reintegration on their return home. These improvements ensure a smoother and more efficient process for both businesses and workers alike.
We offer tangible solutions to address staff retention challenges and improve productivity for businesses. With our expertise and commitment to service, we strive to be your trusted partner in navigating the complexities of PALM Scheme. Let us help you unlock the full potential of your workforce while contributing to the development of participating nations.
