Compliance with legal obligations: Helpful links

Applicants must declare they comply with a range of existing laws as part of a labour hire licence application. These are not new legal obligations created by the labour hire licensing scheme. These are current legal obligations such as paying taxes and superannuation and providing a safe place to work.

To help providers and hosts follow existing Victorian and Commonwealth laws, here are some helpful links:

• Taxation laws
• Superannuation laws
• Occupational health and safety and workplace compensation laws
• Victorian laws and regulations
• Commonwealth laws and regulations
• Labour hire industry laws
• the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic.)
• a provision of an Act or law of Victoria, the Commonwealth, another State or a Territory imposing an obligation on a person in relation to labour hire.
• Minimum accommodation standards

Host have a range of responsibilities under Victorian and Commonwealth laws regardless of whether it involves labour hire arrangements.
