A Senate motion was passed on 25 March 2015 establishing an inquiry into
temporary working visas by the Education and Employment References Committee.
The Committee has until 22 June 2015 to report on the impact of
temporary work visas programmes on the Australian Labour market and unemployment.
The terms of reference will consider the impacts of temporary work visas,
including:
- on the wages, conditions, safety and entitlements of both Australian and temporary workers
- the training and skills development of Australians
- the adequacy of monitoring, enforcement and integrity of these programmes
- the effect of English language requirements
- the provisions and concessions made in DAMAs, EMAs and labour agreements
- the relationship between 457s and other visas with work rights
