I heard Cocoa being introduced into lower higlands provinces in PNG such as goroka, chimbu, Jiwaka and part of Western Highlands province. Can some elaborate on the progress on cocoa farming in these provinces!

Thank you Natasha for the insightful research update. As per the Department of Home Affairs advice, are we expecting another draw before February ends?

Thank you Larisa for sharing your brother's experience. So your brother has already traveled to Australia working?

Thank you Natasha for your valuable research and findings. You have highlighted the impact of securing a job is having on those applicants. My daughter is one of those who was just recently issued a PEV and she is actively looking for a job to meet that criteria. I believe more awareness by DHA and PEV Support Team would be great. It's a great opportunity and thanks to the Australian Government. Natasha thank you once for your valuable insight. 🙏

To work and live in Australia is very stressful. Besides the bills and so on. In terms of employment it's a good idea however, still the Australian Government makes it complicated for PNG citizens' entry compared to other countries but the Pacific and other continents. The idea supposed to be taken up by the PNG Government dealing with Home Affairs. Poor PNGeans are struggling with getting a visa and finding a job.

Thank you Natasha for the much needed update.

Hi Natasha, Thank you so much for your message and interesting research. I just wanted to share my thoughts on how we can improve the process and maximize the number of PNG intakes, compared to other Pacific Island countries. To process visa and organize Papua New Guineans is a complex responsibility so extend deadlines.

When will be the next ballot of PEV open for this year 2025?

Hi, thank you Miss Turia for the research. Indeed my small brother was exhausted and nearly he gave up until last week he was granted his PEV. I really want to thank the Australian Government for the opportunity given to us Papua New Guineans and especially to my small brother. I can't thank PEV enough. God bless.

Hi Natasha, Thank you for sharing. I find this insightful. Given the fact that I am of the current applicant who got selected for PEV and currently trying to understand the PEV process with little help or guidance to go about it. I would love to connect with anyone who have gone through this process successfully or have background knowledge to share pointers or guide me through the process. Thank You

Thanks for the update. I had an uncle who got selected with the PEV program. He got 3 kids and his wife. He left his job and his Land Cruiser to help financially persuade to get all the requirements done for himself and his family. Whoever with high hopes the visa took forever to approve and he lost Is job offer that he got in Australia plus his car and a ton of his savings. Anyways the question is, if this doesn’t turn out for him and his family, is there at least anything the DHA would do?

Hi Natasha thank you for updating. I'am really interested but how can I apply. thanks
