Overseas Agents

As the federal government cracks down on so-called ghost colleges, streamers identifying as migration agents are 'subverting' Australia's visa system for workers paid as little as $4 an hour.

In 2022, Leo's* hot pot restaurant in China's Hunan province was forced to close, leaving him with a debt of over 100,000 yuan . To make his repayments, he set his sights on Australia after watching videos on YouTube, which described the country as a "paradise for blue-collar workers". "I saw a couple of cases in the videos that said they get between $1,500 to $1,800 per week in Australia," he said.

"It's very difficult to manage colleges in Australia who know how to fool the regulator into thinking they're genuine when they're actually not," he said. Rizvi said people caught up in the migration frauds were at risk of being deported or exploited in low-paid jobs.
