Australia launches a 2-year "workplace justice visa" for migrant workers to pursue labour claims against abusive employers.

A new two-year pilot "workplace justice visa" has been launched in Australia, allowing migrant workers to stay and work in the country for six months while pursuing a labour claim against abusive employers. This initiative also includes new visa protections for workers who may have remained silent due to breaching their visa conditions. The program aims to bring exploited migrant workers out of the shadows and could significantly expand labour enforcement in Australia.
