A survey examining the degree to which international students are exploited while working in Australia is launching another edition in July.
The Migrant Justice Institute, in a conversation with The PIE News, explained how the working conditions of international students in Australia need another round under the spotlight through its national temporary migrant survey.
“Lots of organisations, and indeed the government have been crying out for us to do another survey to really try and determine what exploitation looks like,” said Laurie Berg, co-executive director of the Migrant Justice Institute, referring to the organisation’s 2016 and 2019 surveys on the issue, as well as a special Covid-specific survey in 2020.
On July 8, the survey will launch inviting universities across Australia to get their international students to take part, asking about issues like wage deduction.
