Overstayers and People in breach of Visa Conditions

Overstayers and People in breach of Visa Conditions: "There are conditions attached to each type of visa. For example, tourists are prohibited from working while on holiday here and students who apply and are granted a visa with a work permit in Australia may work only 20 hours per week while their courses are in session.

Foreign nationals who are working illegally are taking jobs away from unemployed Australian citizens and residents.
On 30 November 2000, the first phase of a government initiative to stop illegal workers from gaining access to the Australian labour market was launched.

Measures in this phase include a telephone information line, a fax back work rights checking facility for employers and labour suppliers and a new information kit, Don't Give A Job To An Illegal Worker."
