In this presentation, he will share his learnings and vision for the future of immigration compliance in Australia, the potential dangers for employers, and the increasingly high expectations of the Department of Home Affairs and their enforcement arm, Australian Border Force.

The future of immigration compliance and worker protections in Australia – 457s, Students, and the growing relevance of immigration in the Australian workplace.

Jackson’s research shows that immigration compliance obligations will continue to expand role in Australian workplaces over coming years as the number of temporary visa holders, including students, working holiday makers, tourists, and others, continues to grow. This shift will mean that all employers, not just those who sponsor skilled staff on the 457 work visa, will need to understand and address immigration compliance to ensure they are not liable for prosecution, potential criminal liability, and even damaging publicity.

The session will explore employer obligations towards visa holders under the Migration Act and Regulations, the current sponsorship obligations, how businesses can take steps to ensure that internal processes and systems meet immigration requirements and the challenges of meeting immigration and employment law obligations in organisations.

This webinar is a must for all HR executives, legal counsel, compliance officers in organisations with temporary visa holders, or the potential for future visa holder staff.
