Up to 3\,000 Pacific Engagement Visas are available each year through a ballot process. \nThe PEV is not an employer-sponsored visa\, but applicants need an offer of ongoing employment for a genuine position in Australia to be granted the visa. \nRegistrations for the next PEV ballot are now open and will close on 25 August 2025. Nationals from eligible Pacific Island countries and Timor-Leste will then be randomly selected from the ballot pool and invited to apply for a PEV. The PEV is open to eligible nationals with different skill levels from a range of occupations. \nThe BIRO network invites employers to attend a webinar to learn more about the PEV and how you can hire PEV holders. \n  URL:https://loed.com.au/events/pacific-engagement-visa-pev-employer-information-webinar-2/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Business in the City of Logan,Jobs and Employment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://loed.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Pacific-Engagement-Visa.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20251106T080000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20251106T110000 DTSTAMP:20260605T135351 CREATED:20251009T035759Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251009T035916Z UID:10001088-1762416000-1762426800@loed.com.au SUMMARY:UiLab Automation Studio DESCRIPTION:Building on September’s ROI foundational masterclass with a practical\, hands-on session focused on automation implementation.
