In his keynote message, Consul General Jesus R.S. Domingo welcomed the workers and underscored the importance of understanding their rights, obligations, and the support mechanisms available to them. He highlighted the growing Filipino community in the Consulate\u2019s jurisdiction\u2014over 119,000 Filipinos across Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania\u2014and their increasing visibility in health care, aged care, hospitality, trades, and regional agriculture. \u201cThis PAOS is more than orientation,\u201d he emphasized. \u201cIt is about building a strong and supportive community where Filipinos in Australia can be safe, empowered, and respected members of society.\u201d<\/p>

Consul Jan Sherwin P. Wenceslao presented an overview of the Consulate\u2019s consular and welfare services, including passports, civil registration, assistance-to-nationals (ATN), and emergency assistance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Labor Attach\u00e9 Melissa C. Mendizabal of MWO Canberra outlined the office\u2019s mandate and services, including employment contract verification, accreditation of employers, issuance of Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs), and legal and welfare assistance in cases of labor disputes, wage theft, or illegal dismissal.<\/p>

From the Migrant Workers Centre, Ms. Florence Dato and Mr. Gabriel Dain delivered a session on \u201cKnow Your Rights at Work.\u201d They discussed Australia\u2019s national minimum wage, penalty rates, leave entitlements, superannuation, and workplace safety. They also explained new protections for temporary visa holders, such as the Workplace Justice Visa and Strengthening Reporting Protections, which allow workers to pursue claims of exploitation without fear of deportation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The program concluded with an open Q&A session, where participants raised issues such as the responsibilities of OFWs in reporting, the importance of OECs and contract verification, settlement support, and pathways to skills accreditation. Feedback from participants underscored the value of the hybrid format, which enabled meaningful participation from OFWs in regional South Australia and Tasmania.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
