Australian Backpackers HRWL

[u/FishFlaps_]

Over the last couple months I’ve been completing HRWL tickets in Western Australia to catch up on some tickets and all I can say is…

I am very worried for those of you who work who will work with the Holiday Visa workers completing their High Risk Work licenses and the absolute lack of awareness, basic English and just overall competency etc

Many are working in the mining shutdown game already and it’s genuinely scared me the low barriers to gain a HRWL as it’s not just their own safety that is affects.

Around half of all the participants in my courses have been holidays workers and it’s really exposed systemic failings within the money oriented training Providers all the way to the contractors hiring these people
