From Gayndah to the Gold Coast, Western Australia to Wagga Wagga – Australian Border Force officers are on the ground across every corner of Australia targeting employers who are exploiting migrant workers on training visas.
The four-month operation will see;
🏢 200+ workplaces to be visited
📍 All states & territories covered
🛣️ Both regional and metro locations targeted
Just one month into the operation we are already seeing results; over 100 inspections already completed, and evidence of employers lacking genuine training plans and migrant worker trainees being placed in roles unrelated to their approved training.
All workers in Australia are entitled to fair treatment, regardless of visa status. Sponsors who fail to meet their obligations can expect strong compliance and enforcement action which may result in significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
