Is your business facing ongoing skills shortages? 

In response to the ongoing labour challenges faced by business and to offer an alternative solution for refugees, Home Affairs has launched the Skilled Refugee Labour Agreement Pilot. This program includes significant concessions for visa applicants to make migration quicker and easier. 

Co-designed by global not-for-profit Talent Beyond Boundaries, the pilot aims to remove barriers that displaced people face when trying to access employer-sponsored skilled migration and make it easier for Australian employers. 

With access to a talent pool of over 123,000 in 170+ skilled occupations, the pilot provides your business with the support you need. This makes it easier for you to sponsor a worker while at the same time they can rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.

With the current deadline of 30 June 2025, the Chamber is working with TBB and the Department of Home Affairs to promote the Pilot, and is providing discounted Migration Services.

The South Australian Business Chamber is hosting a webinar for employers on Tuesday 25 February 2025 with representatives from Talent Beyond Boundaries, the Department of Home Affairs and special guest Professor Khalil (Charlie) Shahin AO.
