The Australian federal government today introduced world-leading visa reforms to address migrant worker exploitation. Based on our 2023 proposal, Breaking the Silence, which was endorsed by over 40 organisations, these include a new ‘Workplace Justice visa’ permitting migrants worker to stay in Australia to enforce their labour rights. Exploited workers who have breached their visa will have guaranteed immunity from visa cancellation while they take action against their employer.
