Following an information session in Honiara, Standard of Care Australia (SOCA) has had to suspend new applications after a large number of enthusiastic Solomon Islands workers expressed interest in pursuing career paths in health and aged care jobs in Australia.
“We have received strong interest in the opportunities offered to work in Australia in the healthcare and aged care sectors, and we are grateful for the faith you have placed in SOCA,” a statement from SOCA said.
SOCA is the organisation responsible for processing applications from the nine Pacific Island Countries to work in Australia in healthcare and aged care sectors under the PALM scheme.
SOCA trains between 100 and 150 nurses and allied health workers every year who are then recruited to work in Australian health and aged care jobs.
SOCA does not charge job candidates a fee for the service. They identify talent, curate and support career aspirations, training, assessment and visa processing and identify suitable employers who want to have long term sustainable partnerships with Pacific countries.
