The right to work in Australia
Only Australian citizens, permanent residents and others who hold appropriate visas are entitled to work in Australia. New Zealand citizens have an unrestricted right to work in Australia under special category visas.
Employers and labour suppliers must confirm the working entitlements of all workers. The Migration Act 1958 (Cth) applies criminal offences and civil liability provisions to any person who allows or refers a non-citizen to work without a visa or in breach of restrictions in their visa.
