The federal government has announced the expanded JobPass scheme, which will is expected to reduce regulations for licensed and registered workers who wish to apply for interstate jobs.

The scheme is designed to address impediments to labour mobility across the state. It would allow licensed tradies in one jurisdiction to be immediately considered ‘registered’ interstate in an equivalent occupation, without delays, additional fees or paperwork.
