What is A PEV?

WHAT PEV MEANS FOR EMPLOYERS

The Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) is a permanent residency visa for citizens of eligible Pacific Island nations and Timor-Leste, accessed through a government-run ballot.

For employers, this creates an opportunity to build teams with people who are seeking long-term, permanent employment in Australia, not short-term placements. PEV candidates are motivated to establish stable careers, integrate into their workplace, and build a future locally.

BLU works with employers to:

• Identify roles suited to permanent employment outcomes
• Connect with ballot-selected PEV candidates whose skills align with business needs
• Support ethical, compliant recruitment for long-term workforce planning

This pathway is particularly valuable for industries where retention, training investment and workforce continuity are critical to success.

 FOR candidates

The Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) is accessed through a random government ballot. Selection is managed entirely by the Australian Government and cannot be influenced by employers or recruitment providers.

If you are successfully selected in the PEV ballot, BLU can support you in the next step, finding suitable permanent employment in Australia.

BLU assists ballot-selected PEV candidates with:

• Matching skills and experience to genuine permanent job opportunities
• Job search support and employer introductions
• Resume preparation and interview readiness
• Understanding Australian workplace expectations and employment conditions

BLU’s role begins after ballot selection, helping connect successful PEV candidates with employers offering ongoing, meaningful employment aligned to their skills and long-term goals.

Our approach is grounded in ethical recruitment, compliance, and long-term success, supporting candidates to build sustainable careers in Australia.

blu assists with candidate identification and matching, employment structuring, and mobilisation coordination. Our established employer networks across Australia allow us to connect PEV candidates with genuine opportunities.
