Protection for migrant workers

The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Protecting Worker Entitlements) Act 2023 amends the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by inserting a new provision to deal with the interaction between the Act and the Migration Act 1958 (Migration Act). Specifically, the proposed amendment provides that a breach of the Migration Act, or an instrument made under it, does not affect the validity of a contract of employment or a contract for services for the purposes of the Act.
