Deadline for new seasonal agent applications extended

PORT VILA, 18 JANUARY 2019 (VANUATU DAILY POST) – Vanuatu’s Ministry of Internal Affairs through the Department of Labour & Employment Services is extending the time frame for new seasonal agent applications.

This is to provide opportunities to interested individuals or groups who wish to apply for the seasonal agents, to recruit workers around Vanuatu to work in the seasonal employments in Australia and New Zealand.

The initial time frame for applications for new agents commences on December 1 and ends on December 31, annually.

The new time frame will lapse on February 3, 2019.

Section 7 of the Seasonal Act [CAP] provides that any person who wish to apply for a licence to carry out the business of a seasonal agent must apply in the prescribed Form.

The form must be accompanied by prescribed fees, state the place of business and additional information required of Labor Department.

The application fee is non-refundable and the licence permits the holder to negotiate with the Australian and New Zealand recruiters and employers to pay fees to him or her, but not to charge individual Ni-Vanuatu any fees a precondition to seasonal employment.

All forms can be collected from the Employment Service Unit (ESU) Department. The licences are valid for a period of one year only.
