An international student from Adelaide, Joice Cudis, was thrilled to hear about the Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement announced by the government.
She has been studying aged care for the last eight months and working as a kitchen hand in a nursing home facility.
I’m delighted that when I graduate the aged care course, there’s an opportunity for a permanent resident pathway in AustraliaInternational Student Joice Cudis
Ms Cudis also takes advantage of the extension of unlimited working hours for international students employed in the aged care sector until the 31st of December, 2023.
In an interview with SBS Filipino, International student Joice Cudis shared her excitement learning about the Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement.
It can also sponsor overseas workers for permanent residence under the Employer Nomination Scheme subclass 186 visa program.
Workers are required to have two years of full-time work experience in Australia in the mentioned occupations.
In an interview with SBS Filipino, Migration Consultant Elaine Caguiao explained that aged care is not included in the Skilled Occupational list but is part of the government's agreement with Aged Care providers.
“What the government has done is introduced that labour agreement where employers or aged care facilities can sponsor workers under this agreement on a 482 visa, and there’s a pathway for PR for two years,” she stressed.
“It’s up for the employers to sign up with the Department of Home Affairs to have that labour agreement, and there’s an application process.”
