As hinted at earlier today, the government has confirmed another 3,000 regional seasonal workers will be allowed into the country. It brings the RSE worker cap up to 19,000, with the ministers in charge of the scheme saying it will provide relief to the pandemic-impacted horticulture and wine sector. 'The additional 3,000 places is a 19% increase on the previous season and acknowledges the industry's current needs based on  strong growth, and the lower number of working holiday makers onshore right now,' said the immigration minister, Michael Wood.
