If this pilot plan is successful, it is estimated that more 100,000 workers will work for this industry. If you are an international students and plan to get PR in Australia, it would be guessed that working in hospitality sector would be advantageous. In addition, if you are interested in other states, you don’ t need to be disappointed.

From his words, it can be expected that other states will also initiate their original plans to welcome international students back to their states gradually.
