With the increasing population in Australia of immigrants there are now many people whose first language is not English. Is it legal to ask people to speak only English at work?

We have a group of people speaking the same language and when in teams they tend to talk in their own language and others feel excluded and/or disoriented. What is the best way to ask them to use only English at work (for personal/professional matters)

Cochlear went down this path in 2007, you could inquire how it worked out there.
