Migrant and multicultural workers
Work health and safety laws protect all workers, no matter how they are employed (e.g. labour hire; casuals) or their visa status. The same laws apply to all workplaces and workers in Australia.
This information is for migrant and multicultural workers and persons conducting a business or undertaking (such as employers) that employ these workers.
