PALM Employer Challenges We Solve
As your strategic partner, we help you navigate the real complexities of managing a PALM workforce - whether you're new to the scheme or already an Approved Employer.
Worker Mobility Restrictions
Workers tied to a single employer; complex transfer compliance and government scrutiny on labour conditions.
Exploitation & Reputation Risk
Underpayment, poor accommodation, and media scrutiny threaten employer brand and regulatory compliance.
Healthcare & Welfare Gaps
No Medicare access; insurance gaps; limited mental health and community support services.
Regulatory Complexity
State labour-hire licensing (VIC, ACT, QLD, SA), monitoring audits, and PALMIS reporting requirements.
