All employees have basic rights and protections in the workplace, including minimum pay and conditions. You continue to have the same entitlements and protections under the Fair Work Act as other employees regardless of your migration status under the Migration Act. The Fair Work Ombudsman makes sure that these rights are protected and enforced fairly under Australia's workplace laws. If you're a migrant worker you can still ask for our help to get your minimum entitlements even if under the Migration Act you have breached your visa conditions, don't have work rights or don't have the right to be in Australia. We are an Australian Government agency who helps regulate Australian workplaces. You can't get into trouble or have your visa cancelled for contacting us to ask for information about your pay or other workplace rights. There are protections for eligible visa holders experiencing workplace exploitation. For more information, see our Visa protections - pilot programs page at fairwork.gov.au/visa-protections.
