Immigration Law Support Available for AAL Grower Members

Avocados Australia is pleased to announce a new exclusive benefit for Avocados Australia Grower Members through a partnership with Teleo Immigration Lawyers.

Through this arrangement, eligible grower members now have access to:

📞 A complimentary initial immigration consultation
💲 5–10% discount on professional fees across Teleo’s immigration law services

The benefit has been developed to help growers navigate Australia’s complex migration system and better understand workforce options available to horticulture businesses.

Supporting Workforce Planning

Workforce access remains a key issue for many horticultural businesses, particularly in regional areas. Some growers employ overseas workers or participate in labour programs, while others are exploring visa sponsorship options to attract and retain skilled staff.

Australia’s work visa system can be complex and employer compliance requirements are strict. For example:

• A Tax File Number or Australian driver’s licence is not proof of work rights
• Employers must verify visa status, typically through Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO)
• Failure to confirm work rights can result in significant penalties

Access to specialist immigration advice can help employers understand their obligations and plan workforce arrangements with greater confidence.
