WA Travel Report of FILCCA President Parker
A short report from FILCCA President Florence Parker on FILCCA Officers' visit to Western Australia over the Australia Day weekend.
1. An interim committee headed by Andrea Niblett was formed to oversee the formation of the state council. About 6 organisations are represented on that committee. This was a result of the attendees' desire to form the council. It was their consensus that it is now time for WA to ‘unite’ and form one umbrella organisation which will be charged to communicate with the government and FilCCA.
2. There are a number of issues relating to 457 visa holders which FILCCA, as national body, can investigate more and try to lobby for it. It was noted that Andrea has 457 issues and a report should be due soon (final doc and posting on 15 March)
