Which visa allows international workers to take packing jobs in Australian warehouses or farms in 2026?
The Department of Home Affairs requires a Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482) or Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme visa for packing roles in 2026, with applicants needing a job offer from an approved employer.
