Australia is one of the most progressive nations today. With the exponential increase in immigration rates, the immigrants must keep certain things in mind while settling down in Australia. The number of immigration every year is increasing exponentially. Be it students or people moving forward on a work visa, Australia charms people for its high standard of living, beautiful surroundings, and favorable climate.

One can easily move to Australia and start working if all the immigration clauses are fulfilled. But if you are being told that you can work on an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority), you are being lied to.

You might be trapped in a work visa scam if -

· An organization or any agent demanding open fees for arranging an Australian visa.

· You are being said to acquire an Electronic Travel Authority for work

· In order to work, you need to apply for an Australian Business Number (ABN) and set up a company.

· Only handwritten contract or agreement is included in the entire process.

· They may promise a Permanent residence Stature after you reach.

· The agent or company uses the Australian coat of arms on their website in order to cheat public and make them believe they are genuine. They also claim that whatever scheme they have is approved by the Australian Government.

· They claim that your salary will be paid in cash only

· They claim that there will be no need for an Australian Government Tax File Number

· The agent or company in Australia does not have an ABN

· They offer a salary rate below the minimum Australian wages. To check the exact amount of wages a foreign worker deserves, visit www.fairwork.gov.au
