While visiting some workers in Teys Australia a meat processing company in Queensland, Brisbane, he says that the government is closely working with Australia to enhance cooperation in the labour mobility sector.
Rabuka says through the High Commission in Canberra, they have appointed liaison officers to assist seasonal workers in Australia.
The visit was also an opportunity for the seasonal workers to discuss and raise issues such as superannuation contributions, visas and family welfare.
