Seasonal worker deal struck between Victoria and Tasmania to help with coronavirus shortage
Seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands will be allowed into Victoria under a deal struck between the state and Tasmania.
Under the deal Tasmania will quarantine the 1,500 workers for two weeks before they are allowed to come to Victorian farms.
In exchange Victoria will provide more space in hotel quarantine for Tasmanians returning for overseas.
The Pacific Islands are considered a lower COVID-19 risk than other nations.
