Hundreds of vulnerable migrant workers on temporary visas in rural Victoria are set to benefit from new funding. The new $580,000 follows a string of investigations by S-B-S News and other media outlets into the exploitation of temporary workers on farms across the state.
The funds will be delivered over two years in conjunction with Victorian Legal Aid and other partners in key regional areas.
More than 200 temporary visa workers in those regions are expected to receive face to face and in-depth employment assistance under the funding, according to the government.
