Australian Federal Minister of Agriculture, David Littleproud has announced to introduce special farm workers Visa for the Agricultural season. He says that picking farmers for the visa is his top priority. The Agriculture minister is having meetings with the newly appointed Minister of Immigration, David Coleman to discuss about the possibility of the new farmer visa.
The farm worker visa will only focus on hiring workers to help in the busy agriculture period that lasts from May to August every year.
The Agriculture Minister has been an avid supporter of the new Visa and has said that agriculture industry is facing huge labour shortage in the country and he believes that agriculture visa could help address the farmer shortage problem, as per The Australian.
Littleproud also believes that Australia needs a specific farm visa so that overseas farmers willing to work in Australian farms do not plod through various categories of visa. The visa proposal is to introduce the multiple entry visa of short duration to meet the farmer labour requirements without the need of any Labour Market Testing. The applications for this visa do not require any kind of sponsorship and applicants would be able to switch employers within the agriculture sector.
