Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This proclamation sets 14 September 2009 as the commencement date for two Schedules of the Migration Legislation Amendment (Worker Protection) Act 2008, bringing those previously dormant worker-protection rules into force. It matters because migrant workers gain the Act’s legal protections from that date and employers become obliged to comply with the activated provisions.
