It’s official! 🎉

Our MWC Director, Karla Benítez, will be speaking at the FECCA Conference 2026!

Karla will highlight the work of the union movement in engaging with CALD communities, and the opportunities to build stronger, more equal, inclusive and representative organisations.

A great opportunity to bring migrant workers’ voices and experiences into the national conversation.

See you at FECCA!

The Multicultural Workers Collective was proud to join Ahinsa Australia in celebrating the International Day of Non Violence for frontline workers at the Indian Community Centre in Willetton.

Our very own Rikki Hendon, Secretary of UnionsWA, spoke about how to prevent exploitation and the work of the Multicultural Workers Collective in protecting migrant workers and their communities.

Thank you to Ahinsa Australia for the invitation, and to the community members, organisations, business owners and workers who visited our stall and approached our team about future collaborations. 💪

Today the Multicultural Workers Collective Team was proud to be part of the HSR Conference! 🙌

This year's theme is Exercise Your Power. The conference delivered information sessions and workshops to help health and safety representatives feel comfortable and confident using their legislated rights and powers in the workplace, not just in principle, but in practice.

For our team, it was a chance to have meaningful conversations with union affiliates and delegates about collaborating to protect the workplace rights of migrant workers.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat. We're looking forward to building these collaborations. 💪

If you're on a temporary visa and have experienced workplace exploitation, the Workplace Justice Visa may allow you to stay in Australia for 6 to 12 months to pursue your claim against your employer.

⏳ Timing matters. You may be eligible if your temporary visa with work rights:
✅ Expires in 28 days or less, or
✅ Expired no more than 28 days ago

To apply, your workplace claim must be certified by an accredited organisation. The Multicultural Workers Collective is an accredited certifier.

Every business in Australia has a role to play in protecting migrant workers' rights, from farms and cafés to large corporations and labour hire companies.

Hiring someone without legal work rights, or letting them work outside their visa conditions, is against the law, and it applies to every employer, no matter the size of the business.
