Australia has
announced 2 new labour contracts to sponsor overseas workers. The Government
has claimed that this will support the multicultural communities in the nation.
The new labour
agreements were unveiled by David
Coleman the Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Minister.
These are for religious institutions and the aged care sector.
The new accord
for the ages care sector will permit aged care facilities to sponsor overseas
workers – carers. This is with needed skills to offer care for the elderly in
the communities. It is in spite of Aged
Care Workers not being specified in the eligible occupations list.
Coleman said
that a need for bilingual carers has been identified by aged care providers.
This is because people with dementia or the elderly can revert to their native
language. They may also lose the ability to communicate in a second language,
he added.
The new accord
will assist them greatly to find the appropriate staff. This is for delivering
crucial care services for the aged said the Minister. The aged care providers will now be in a position to sponsor overseas
workers for the Employer Nomination Scheme or Temporary Skills Shortage Visa.
The employers must prove that they could not identify required skilled workers
in Australia, he added.
A new role of Religious Assistant is
being offered to religious institutions in Australia, as quoted by the
SBS. This will expand their scope to
sponsor overseas workers. It will also broaden the work scope for the existing
role of Minister of Religion. The new accord will offer flexibility to the individual nominated for the Visa to be employed in
any senior profile.
A strong
expansion in numbers for Religious Assistant and Minister of Religion is
estimated in the next 5 years. The new accords do not alter the current salary
concessions and age requirements. These have become effective from March 11, 2019, and continue to offer Australia
