The Workers rights education and support services program aims to create fairer and safer workplaces for people from migrant and refugee backgrounds
Migrant and refugee workers (particularly temporary visa holders) may be at risk of being victimised by exploitation or experience unfair work practices due to lack of access to welfare or equitable employment opportunities, low levels of English language proficiency and unfamiliarity with Australian workplace or legal systems and culture.
The Workers' rights education and support services program includes delivery of education and support services to empower workers to understand their work rights and develop confidence in seeking rectification of issues they may encounter in the workplace.
Multicultural Australia in collaboration with the Queensland Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma delivers services and training under this program.

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.
We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
