The Ministry of Employment, will be sending more Fijians to Australia through the Seasonal Worker Program this month.

In addition to the four seasonal workers contracted in July by Plant Grow Pick Pty Ltd, fifteen women and fifteen men have signed their contracts with the company, based in Queensland, Australia.

In preparation for the type of work they will be engaged in, the group completed their pre-departure orientation this week.

Company Director, Walter Fangatua says the outstanding performance of the four initial workers, has encouraged Plant Grow Pick to recruit additional seasonal workers from Fiji.

Minister for Employment Jioji Konrote says, following the success of the first four workers to Australia, Fiji can expect an increase in the demand for our seasonal workers in the near future.
