Migration Act 1958

This Subdivision provides for the Minister to declare a person to be a prohibited employer for a specified period if:

the person is subject to a migrant worker sanction; and

no more than 5 years have passed since the person became subject to that sanction.

Sections 245AYE to 245AYJ set out when a person is subject to a migrant worker sanction.

While a declaration is in effect, a prohibited employer must not:

allow certain additional non‑citizens to begin work; or

have a material role in a decision made by a body corporate or other body to allow certain additional non‑citizens to begin work.

After a person stops being a prohibited employer, the person must give the Department specified information about certain lawful non‑citizens who the person allows to begin to work in the 12 month period after so ceasing.
