New laws to protect migrant workers

New laws to protect migrant workers

Migration Tasmania believes that all migrant workers to our state must be treated fairly, with respect and are never exploited.

The Australian Government has released guidance for current and prospective migrant workers and current or prospective employers, sponsors or labour hire intermediaries on new national laws to protect migrant workers from exploitation. The laws aim to deter employers and others in the labour chain from using a person’s migration status to exploit them. Find out more on the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website.
