Why we built this
The amount migrant workers are underpaid in Australia every year, according to a UNSW study published May 2026. 2 in 3 migrant workers are affected.
That number is not an accident. It happens because the system is genuinely hard to navigate — Modern Award rates are buried in PDFs, SkillSelect cut-offs change every month without notification, and visa requirements shift without warning.
Most migrants we spoke to didn't know they had the right to check their employer's award rate, or that they could lodge a Fair Work complaint anonymously. Many didn't know that missing a single SkillSelect round could delay their PR by six months.
What FairLanding is
FairLanding is an informational platform. We take genuinely useful information from Fair Work Commission, the Department of Home Affairs, the ATO, and other official sources — and make it fast, personalised, and actionable.
We are not a migration agent. We never give migration advice. Every output on this platform traces directly to a published government source.
What FairLanding is not
- ✕We are not a Registered Migration Agent (RMA) and do not provide migration advice
- ✕We do not predict visa outcomes or recommend which visa to apply for
- ✕We are not affiliated with the Department of Home Affairs or any government agency
- ✕We do not share your data with employers, government agencies, or advertisers
Legal compliance
Section 280 of the Migration Act 1958 makes it a criminal offence to provide migration advice for a fee without being a Registered Migration Agent. We take this seriously.
Every tool on FairLanding is designed around the distinction: "Here is what the published criteria says" (legal) vs "Here is what you should do about your visa" (requires an RMA). We only ever do the former.
We have sought a written Section 280 compliance opinion from specialist migration law firms to confirm our platform design is lawful.
