129. Provide access to basic services such as health care to everyone living in the
Australia, regardless of their immigration status, in accordance with international
human rights standards.
130. Implement “firewalls” between public services and immigration enforcement,
thereby offering better access to effective labour inspection, access to justice, and
access to other public services such as housing, health care, education, and police and
social services, for all migrants, regardless of status, without fear of detection,
detention and deportation. This would also allow for better collection of disaggregated
data by government agencies, especially on undocumented migrants.
131. Ensure respect by all service providers in onshore and offshore detention
facilities of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, adopted in 2011 by
the Human Rights Council, which underscore as one of their foundational principles
the corporate responsibility of business enterprises to respect human rights.
132. Ensure effective enforcement of laws prohibiting racist and xenophobic acts as
well as hate speech and racially motivated violence against migrants and asylum
seekers. Ensure that such acts are prosecuted and punished and that appropriate
compensation is awarded to the victims.
133. Strengthen the efforts to apply the legislation in order to combat direct or
indirect discrimination with regard to the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural
rights by migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, including in access to private rental
housing and to the labour market.
