Applications for licenses to provide labour hire services open
today.
It will be an offence to operate as, advertise, or use the
services of, an unlicensed labour hire provider in Victoria after
20 October 2019.
The labour hire licensing scheme in Victoria was enacted under
the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic)
(Act) on 20 June 2018. It requires all labour hire
providers in Victoria to be licensed in accordance with the Act
with minimal exceptions.
Does this apply to me?
The Act defines labour hire services broadly and is designed to
capture a broad range of services where an individual (worker)
performs work for a host entity, arranged and paid through a third
party (labour hire provider).
