@yoen11: Key Facts About Australia’s Rules • The Law: Section 245AR makes it illegal to request or receive payment for sponsorship. Section 245AS makes it illegal to offer or provide such a payment.  • Employer Obligations: Employers must pay all recruitment costs, nomination fees, and the Skilling Australians Fund (SAF) levy. They cannot legally pass these costs on to the worker or deduct them from wages.  • Penalties: Employers can face fines of over $100,000, up to 2 years in prison, and a permanent ban from sponsoring workers. • Worker Risk: If a worker pays for a visa, their visa can be canceled, and they may be deported for participating in the fraud. How to Report Abuse in Australia If an employer asks for money (e.g., $30k–$80k) to sponsor you, you can report them anonymously: • Border Watch (Home Affairs): Use the Online Reporting Form to report immigration fraud. • Fair Work Ombudsman: For issues regarding illegal wage deductions or being forced to pay back your salary, call 13 13 94. #australia #indonesia #paydaysale #salary #job • Visa Scams: Report unregistered agents to the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA). Just like the Canada example, "Paying for Sponsorship" in Australia is strictly illegal. • The Penalty: Employers can face huge fines (over $60,000) and jail time. • The Visa: If the government finds out a worker paid for their visa, that visa will be cancelled, and the worker will be deported.
