2022 means even more special.
From April 2022, Former Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP) and Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) have been consolidated into one stream governed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Each programme will continue to exist as in short-term and long-term stream within the scheme, aiming to fulfill their original purposes. (Short-term up to 9 months, long-term up to 4 years)
