New visa subclass for migrant workers battling exploitation

In a world first, Australia is seeking to tackle migrant worker exploitation through the introduction of workplace justice visas. This new visa subclass will allow migrant workers battling against exploitation to extend their stay in Australia while fighting a workplace claim. Historically, the threat to migrant workers of losing their visa status has silenced many from speaking out against their employers.
