“Once Indonesian caregivers are accredited, then it is hoped to improve their competitiveness level hence paving the way for more job opportunities in Australia’s healthcare sector,” said Jerry.

The Ministry of Trade has done its job as the IA-CEPA has been fulfilled despite a long journey, he added, noting the agreement was first negotiated back in 2010.

“If we include the pre-negotiation phase then it has been even longer. But the point is we are happy that the agreement is finished. We, the Ministry of Trade, present this comprehensive economic agreement for all Indonesians to make the best of it,” said Jerry.
