Date: 2013-05-21

Workplace laws provide basic protection and entitlements for all workers in Australia, including workers who hold temporary visas such as the Temporary Work (Skilled) (Subclass 457) visa. As well as the basic protection provided by workplace laws, immigration laws also protect visa holders.
 
It is important if you are a temporary worker in Australia that you are aware of your rights and obligations. These include the basic protection provided to you by law; the terms and conditions of your employment; your visa conditions; your employer's obligations and where you can go for help.

More information about the rights and obligations for temporary resident workers is available on the department's website at http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/rights-obligations-workers.htm
