Employment Streamlining the Seasonal Worker Programme On 18 June 2015 the Government announced changes to the Seasonal Worker Programme as part of its Northern Australia White paper North, Our Future: “Our A Vision for Developing Northern Australia”. Since 1 July 2015 new arrangements have been put in place to: remove the minimum stay requirement of fourteen weeks; simplify cost sharing arrangements by combining the employer’s contribution to each seasonal worker’s international and domestic airfare to a total of $500; streamline application and reporting processes; and simplify the delivery of on-arrival and pre-return briefings. The OBPR has agreed that this will lead to an annual saving of $2.0 million per year in compliance costs. Environment Reform of the Television and Computer Recycling Scheme
