Who is responsible for paying workers' travel costs?

PALM scheme employers must organise and pay for the upfront travel costs to and from Australia for their workers. Employers may recoup any amount over the first $300 but no more than the amount set out in the international airfares and domestic transportation matrix.
From mid-2023 the government will reimburse costs that cannot be recouped from short-term workers through no fault of the employer, e.g. where workers disengage.
Employers will still be required to make a $300 contribution to workers' flights.
