Temporary Workers Face Exploitation in NSW | Adelaide News
Description
A damning new report from New South Wales reveals harrowing accounts of exploitation and abuse against temporary migrant workers, especially in regional areas like Coffs Harbour and the Nambucca Valley. Workers on programs like PALM say they were deceived, threatened, and forced into brutal conditions — with some even silenced by informal labor syndicates. The 188-page inquiry calls for urgent reforms: a mandatory labor-hire licensing system, stronger enforcement powers for police and SafeWork NSW, visa changes to allow easier employer switches, and a review of the Working Holiday Maker Program. These findings expose systemic failures and demand immediate action to prevent modern slavery and protect vulnerable workers.
