Small businesses are concerned they could be shut out of the skilled migration system and are calling for a boost to lower-skilled visas to address severe labour shortages.

Catering Australia chief executive Belinda Clark backed lower-skilled visas, saying “any practical reform to the way migration works for highly-skilled and low-skilled workers in this country is a good thing”.“We are concerned that our industry will miss out unless we are put on priority lists.”CA on Monday presented a petition to Mr Albanese signed by more than 2000 hospitality venues that called for “extensive and swift reform” to the way the system works in this country.

“Every restaurant and cafe has a sign in their window offering full-time or part-time work,” Ms Clark said.“Our industry needs the government to act now. We welcome any reform that will get chefs in the kitchen, wait staff serving great meals and restaurants managers doing what they do best.” “Working holidaymakers and international students are an important source of lower skilled workers for small businesses,” he said.
