Migrant Employment Legal Service

The Migrant Employment Legal Service (MELS) addresses migrant worker exploitation by providing FREE and CONFIDENTIAL employment legal help to migrant workers and temporary visa holders in New South Wales. MELS was established through a joint initiative between Inner City Legal Centre, Kingsford Legal Centre, Marrickville Legal Centre and Redfern Legal Centre. We focus on community legal education and we educate temporary visa holders and workers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds on their employment rights. We recognise that IR law reform is necessary and we aim to work with stakeholders to advocate for migrant worker rights.
