Pay repatriation costs to send RSE workers home

Employers in the RSE Scheme must agree to pay a fixed amount of repatriation costs to send a worker who breaks their visa conditions home.

When you apply for your Agreement to Recruit (ATR) you must also attach a signed letter of guarantee.

When you sign one you agree to pay a fixed amount towards repatriating any worker who breaks their visa conditions.

The repatriation costs can be anything up to $3000 for each worker (this includes any living and accommodation costs).

Your signed letter of guarantee goes with your ATR application along with the rest of your supporting documents.

Warning

You must tell us when your RSE worker:

  • is suspended or dismissed
  • breaks their visa conditions.
