Description
This report examines the impact of Australia's temporary work visa programs on the Australian labour market and on the temporary work visa holders.
Although a range of varied and specific matters were raised during the course of the inquiry, certain themes run across one or more of the temporary visa programs. The report is therefore divided into five parts:
- Part 1 provides an overview of the temporary visa programs;
- Part II considers the impact of temporary visa programs on employment opportunities for Australians and permanent residents;
- Part III considers the impact of temporary visa programs on the training and skills development of Australians and permanent residents;
- Part IV considers issues of vulnerability and exploitation including the wages, conditions, safety and entitlements of temporary visa holders; and
- Part V considers issues of information, education, regulation and compliance.
