Abstract

This report was commissioned to examine the risk arising from Covid-19 in undocumented workers in the horticulture industry in Australia. We find that undocumented workers are prone to a high risk of infection and generating new clusters of infection. Undocumented workers have precarious living and work conditions. These put at risk Australia’s initial success in controlling Covid-19 infection, hamper infection control protocols and pose measurable risk to the Australian population.

Keywords: Covid-19, horticulture industry in Australia, undocumented workers
