Indonesian workers could get up to six months of training and work experience in Australia in a worker-exchange program to boost its human resources.
The workers would mainly come from the health care, telecommunication, transportation, and tourism sectors.
The Indonesian government is aiming for 100 of its workers to join the program in the first year, gradually increasing to 500 within five years.
The plan was announced by Indonesia Trade Minister Agus Suparmanto days after the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) came into effect.
Suparmanto said the worker-exchange program with Australia is part of Indonesia's benefits in joining IA-CEPA.
The program's partners are the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo), the Indonesian-Australian Business Council (IABC), and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin).
The IA-CEPA eliminates trade tariffs between the two countries.
Thus, the trade pact will boost Indonesian export products to Australia, especially fishery products, textiles, automotive products, electronics, and communication tools.
