| General information for international students | The Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) has tailored information on its website for visa holders, including international students, covering basic workplace relations information, common issues faced by students, such as unpaid work and the FWO’s Visa Assurance Protocol with the Department of Home Affairs that could give you some protection even if you’re in breach of your visa conditions. | |
| Record My Hours app | The Record My Hours app assists workers to easily record and store their hours of work. The app is free to download, available for both Apple and Android, and was developed with young and migrant workers in mind. It’s available in various languages and automatically detects the language settings on a user’s smartphone. | |
| Anonymous Report | An online interactive form which allows members of the community to report a workplace concern anonymously. Information provided to the FWO helps it plan its current and future education and enforcement activities. The report is available in English and various other languages. |

| In language content | The FWO has updated and expanded the Language Help section of its website to better meet the needs of migrant customers. The website now delivers professionally translated information in 30 languages. The updated content includes downloadable resources and more detailed topic based information to address the common questions asked by migrant workers. It also includes in-language video resources in 16 languages. |
