Laws have been tightened against employers who pay migrant workers less or force them to work longer hours.
According to the new immigration laws implemented by the Australian government from July 1, company owners will not have the opportunity to exploit the labor of migrant workers at will.
The Department of Home Affairs has informed that the law will be strictly enforced against the owners of institutions who violate these new rules.
The Department of Labor has announced tougher laws amid rising complaints about Australian company owners pressuring migrant workers by threatening to revoke visas.
Migrant workers in Australia have the right to speak for their rights and complain, so they are advised not to be subjected to various forms of harassment for fear of losing their visas.
Migrant workers are advised to visit the Department of Home Affairs’ website to learn about their rights and laws, and to file a confidential complaint if they feel their labor is being unnecessarily exploited at the workplace.
