Welcoming Seasonal Workers in Australia: Gift and Responsibility

The 7th ACMRO National Conference will address the issues of seasonal and migrant workers in Australia, emphasising their contributions to Australian society beyond their labour.

Seasonal workers come from overseas, specifically from 9 Pacific islands and Timor-Leste, and travel and work temporarily in Australia. They do not only come to Australia to support their families, but they also bring rich cultural experiences, traditions, language, and faith.

The conference will explore how faith communities in Australia and Australian society can welcome and learn from these gifts, fostering positive change.
