The Restaurant Association is welcoming the Government\u2019s announcement on the skilled migrant chefs criteria, but says more needs to be done.

Immigration Minister Michael Wood announced yesterday that the Government has dropped the qualification requirement for chefs hired under the accredited employer work visa program.

Restaurant Association CEO Marisa Bidois told Mike Hosking they were turning away very experienced chefs.\xa0
