Former director of migration company Clinica Internationale Pty Ltd declared bankrupt
“We are committed to holding individuals to account for failing to comply with costs orders made against them in enforcement proceedings,” ACCC Chair Rod Sims said.
Clinica offered migrants training and sponsored employment in the cleaning industry under a program which it claimed would lead to permanent residency, but had no cleaning jobs available. And even if Clinica had found these jobs, they would not have met the skill level enabling people to apply for the relevant visa.
Approximately 90 migrants paid a total of over $760,000 in fees to participate in the program.
“We took the original legal action against Mr Laski because of the appalling behaviour which took advantage of vulnerable individuals,” Mr Sims said.
“Clinica’s clients had significantly weaker bargaining power, and were induced to pay substantial sums of money on the basis of false or misleading representations and unconscionable conduct,” Mr Sims said.
“This is a reminder to businesses and individuals that if you break the law, there are real and serious consequences.”
