Migrant Workers Centre Incorporated

The Migrant Workers Centre Inc (MWC) is a not-for-profit organisation open to workers in Victoria who were born overseas. We connect migrant workers with one another and empower them to understand and enforce their rights. The Migrant Workers Centre assists workers from emerging communities to address problems they encounter in workplaces and collaborates with unions and community partners to seek long-term solutions to the exploitation of migrant workers.

The Centre’s activities are organised around three areas of work:

• Education – helping migrant workers to understand their rights at work by delivering community education that is culturally and linguistically appropriate.
• Enforcement – assisting migrant workers who are experiencing workplace issues, such as wage theft and discrimination, to enforce their workplace rights and win just outcomes.
• Advocacy – working with migrant communities to improve their lives in Australia by conducting research, empowering community leaders and members, and advocating to decision-makers.
