We had the pleasure of meeting with the team from the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan to discuss workplace rights, available support and protections for temporary visa holders and international students in the ACT.

The meeting provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration, share information about our free support services and explore ways to ensure Sudanese community members have access to accurate information about their rights at work.

Our Embassy outreach efforts have unlocked more pathways to reach out target groups.

Thank you Embassy of the Republic of Sudan!

Today we’re at the Entrepreneurship for Everyone event at UC, proudly exhibiting alongside a diverse range of small businesses while joining the day’s inspiring conversations.

Small business owners are a vital part of the employment ecosystem, and many play an important role in hiring migrant workers. We’re excited to connect with employers to discuss their workplace obligations, share practical information on employing migrant workers fairly, highlight what to look out for, and explain the new workplace protections, penalties, and criminal offences that apply under Australia’s workplace laws.

Together, we can build fairer, safer, and more informed workplaces for everyone.
