Labour Hire Licensing Queensland
Labour Hire Licensing Queensland
With the introduction of the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 on 16th April 2018, it will be mandatory for labour hire agencies operating in Queensland to have a licence.
Requirements of the licence for suppliers of labour will include paying licence fees, demonstrating the capability of providing labour hire services, proving financial stability, complying with workplace laws, and submitting reports on operations and compliance.
Businesses that use labour hire suppliers will be required to only use licenced providers.
Yet to come is a dedicated labour hire licensing website providing information to workers and to the users and providers of workers. On this website workers will be able to check on their rights; users of workers will be able to search for licenced operators; and agencies will be able to apply for licences and submit reporting requirements.
Strong penalties will apply for breaches of the Act.
A full copy of the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 can be found on the Queensland Legislation’s website at https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/html/asmade/act-2017-033
