Many international students who have to work part-time to cover high rents are falling victim to unscrupulous employers who take advantage of their lack of knowledge about workplaces laws.
The Fair Work Ombudsman has also recently established an Overseas Workers Team.
A free interpreter service for those from non-English speaking backgrounds is available by calling 13 14 50 and information about workplace laws is translated into 27 different languages at www.fairwork.gov.au/languages.
You can also follow the Fair Work Ombudsman on Twitter or Facebook for further information.
