Despite spearheading Labour Hire Licensing in Australia, the
South Australian (SA) Government has already scrapped their new
scheme.
Growing concern over the exploitation of workers in the mining
and agricultural industry has led a number of state governments to

Act) will be scrapped before the licencing scheme has even
commenced. If your company provides or uses labour hire services,
read on to untangle the abrupt backflip of the SA licencing scheme
and find out what this means for your business.
