More Workers Fly to Australia Under the Pacific Labour Scheme With the recent mobilization, we now have 1053 workers in Australia with demand still growing significantly now that COVID-19 risk management initiatives are in place. Source: SIG Friday, 14 May 2021 08:51 AM A total of 187 workers flew out of the country last week on Friday 7 May to work in various farms and abattoirs in Australia. The first group of workers travelled on a chartered Qantas flight at midday whilst the second group travelled on the Solomon Airlines normal flight late in the evening. They have been recruited through the Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) and contracted under the Regional Workforce Management (RWM) and Powerpac, two of the larger Australian Approved Employers (AE) who are currently recruiting workers in Solomon Islands in large numbers.
