Since, you are applying for this visa for the employment, it is necessary that you know what your rights are as an employee working for an authorized Australian employer. All employees in Australia are covered by the Fair Work Act 2009 including workers employed on subclass 457 visas.

You are entitled to fair pay and to basic rights and protections in the workplace. Your sponsor must provide you with the same terms and conditions as Australian workers performing the same work in the same work location.
