The government has released a new visa subclass allowing individuals who are fighting for their workplace rights, such as victims of work exploitation, to remain in Australia.


Key Points
  • The federal government aims to eliminate the fear of reporting abuse due to concerns about losing one's job and visa in Australia with the introduction of the new Workplace Justice Visa.
  • The purpose of the visa is to allow individuals to stay in the country while they fight for their rights against their employer.
  • While this visa is helpful, more needs to be done to protect temporary visa holders, according to some groups.
