Karl Dean: Federated Farmers Dairy Chair on new work Visas
Published 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Federated Farmers says two new visas provide a clear pathway for seasonal international workers.
Experienced workers like rural contractors can apply for the Global Workforce Seasonal Visa, which is available for up to three years and allows them to return on the same visa.
The Peak Seasonal Visa will be for up to seven months.
Federated Farmers Dairy Chair Karl Dean told Ryan Bridge it's a welcome change.
He says normally they'd get workers in on a working holiday visa for a year, but this makes much clearer what they're here for.
