Migrant workers constitute a significant proportion of
Australia's workforce. However, not all migrants in Australia
have work rights - not all visas allow work.
If you employ migrant workers, there are a few things you need
to know.
You need to ensure that your employee has the right to work in
Australia
This can be done by checking the visa status of the employee
yourself by checking online through the Visa Entitlement
Verification Online (VEVO) system provided by the Department of
Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), or by asking an employee
to produce evidence demonstrating their right to work in Australia.
Look out for any specific work conditions or restrictions that
might be attached to their visa.
