Dear Fair Work Ombudsman,

I am Chong Yoong Wai, an executive from the Malaysian Progressives in Australia (Melbourne chapter). We are a registered NGO under the state of Victoria. I would like to request for statistics about complaints from international students in Melbourne about the lack of fair work rights in their workplace. I would like for the complaints to be divided by nationality and gender, if that is possible.

Please advise accordingly if you need more specific information from me regarding the things I'm looking for. Thank you very much for your cooperation and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
Chong Yoong Wai
