Scams targeting PALM scheme workers

Some Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme workers are incurring large debts after providing personal information and bank details to access cash. 

This information has been developed for workers and employers with advice and resources to support workers who may be affected by scams.  

Employers may also direct workers to the easy-to-read ‘guide to scams’ booklet to help workers understand how to identify scams and seek additional help. 

If workers or employers become aware of a scam, this can be reported at Report a scam | Scamwatch
