We bring in workers from South East Asia to work for Australian employers in areas of need.

✓ Is your business registered and operating in Australia, with an Australian Business Number (ABN) or an Australian Company Number (ACN)? Entities must be incorporated in Australia or be an incorporated limited partnership. Sole traders are not eligible to sponsor workers.

Supporting workers while they are in Australia

In Australia, welfare of workers is of the highest priority for the Australian Government. All participating workers have the same rights and protections as Australian workers.

A range of measures are in place to protect workers, including vetting of employers and stringent criteria for participation, a rigorous monitoring and compliance framework including site visits and spot checks, regular reporting requirements and a welfare hotline. Workers are also encouraged and supported to connect to their local communities in rural and regional Australia.
