The Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James has penned an open letter to international students, urging them to be aware of their workplace rights and to seek free help from the FWO if they experience issues while working in Australia.
FWO is trying to address some of the barriers students face when seeking assistance from us and aims to engender trust in the FWO. We want international students to understand that they have workplace rights, and that the FWO is here to help them, but more importantly that they can seek our assistance without fear of their visa being cancelled.
