The Migration (Workplace Justice Visa—LIN 24/055) Instrument 2024 establishes a new visa under the subclass 408 Temporary Activity Visa for addressing workplace exploitation.

Effective from the day after registration, this legislative instrument specifies the entities that can issue certificates for workplace exploitation matters, the types of exploitation covered, and the eligibility criteria for applicants. Key entities include the Fair Work Ombudsman and various unions.

The visa aims to allow temporary migrant workers to remain in Australia to resolve workplace exploitation issues effectively. Detailed consultation with relevant government agencies and practitioners informed the drafting of this instrument.
