The Victorian government has introduced new regulatory measures targeting labour hire companies that provide substandard accommodation to migrant workers. Under these changes, firms found to be housing employees in poor conditions face significant financial penalties and the potential revocation of their operating licences.
These reforms are designed to address the exploitation of vulnerable workers within the labour hire sector. By strengthening enforcement mechanisms, the state aims to ensure that migrant employees are provided with safe and adequate living environments while holding recruitment businesses accountable for their housing practices.
