Australia\u2019s current visa subclasses are complicated and hard to understand. This
\nwill make it harder for a person who speaks English as a second language to apply
\nfor the right visa. This increases sex workers\u2019 vulnerability to trafficking.
\nAustralia\u2019s visas are quite complex in language and difficult to truly understand. The Government has
\ninformation on the websitei, but most them are in English and difficult to understand. The information
\nis suitable for people who have academic backgrounds. There are many migration agents, brokers,
\ncontractors and other third parties who will give advice for a fee, both in Australia and in other
\ncountries for those who want to travel to Australia. Many people are afraid to ask in depth or
\nsometime don\u2019t know what to ask. For example if a person wants to travel to Australia to do sex work
\nthey may not be explicit when they discuss this with the third party they are paying for advice. This
\nmeans they do not receive the right advice and may be more vulnerable to exploitation from third
\nparties when seeking a visa to do sex work in Australia. Simplifying the visa process can contribute to
\nthe prevention of such vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
