Budget 2018: Religious groups have won a valuable exemption that means they can hire workers from overseas without paying into the Skilling Australians Fund.
More on Budget 2018:
- Winners and losers
- Refugees to wait twice as long for job search services
- Migrants to wait four years for Centrelink in welfare crackdown
- Government to claw back $300m from welfare debtors

Religious organisations will be able to hire temporary migrants as bishops, ministers and religious assistants without paying into a fund designed to support 300,000 Australian apprenticeships.
The Turnbull government announced the Skilling Australians Fund in last year’s budget, but the legislation only passed the Senate on Tuesday afternoon.
