Everyone in Australia has the right to be healthy and safe at work. 

Safe Work Australia has developed a new worker information sheet, Work health and safety in Australia: information for migrant and multicultural workers, with translations available in 11 languages – Arabic, Burmese, Dari, English, Greek, Hindi, Korean, Punjabi, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese. 

The information sheet provides an overview of work health and safety laws, including employer duties and worker rights, information on common hazards, what to do if a worker is injured at work, and where to go for help.
