 On 1 June 2013, the "Migration Amendment (Reform of Employer Sanctions) Act 2013" commenced.This new law puts the onus on businesses to ensure that their employees maintain the necessary work entitlements in Australia.The new legislation also enables the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship to levy infringement notices against business (AUD $15,300) and individual (AUD $3,060) employers on a strict liability basis – meaning that there is no requirement to prove fault, negligence or intention.
