Australian Agriculture Visa
On 30 September 2021, the Government introduced the Migration Amendment (Australian Agriculture Workers) Regulations 2021. This supports labor shortages in Australia’s primary industries, including:
horticulture
meat processing
dairy
wool
grains
fisheries (including aquaculture), and
forestry.
The Australian Agriculture visa is a new sponsored temporary visa stream within the Subclass 403 Temporary Work (International Relations) visa. The visa program is still being developed. Operation of the visa will be subject to agreement on the program design with industry. We also need to complete bilateral negotiations with partner countries. This work is being led by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
