Upcoming construction industry engagement opportunities 

Information sessions on new licensing obligations  

To further address unlawful conduct and improve integrity, a broader legal definition of labour hire now applies in Victoria’s construction industry. 

The broader laws cover the following activities on Victorian Government-funded construction projects with a total cost over $50m: 

• traffic management 
• site security 
• concreting 
• crane operating. 

LHA is holding online information sessions between 13 and 24 November tailored for: 

• companies now requiring a licence (labour hire providers) 
• companies that engage companies now requiring a licence (labour hire hosts). 

Each session will cover: 

• Licensing requirements for traffic management, security, concreting & crane operating  
• Legal obligations of head contractors with respect to companies performing the prescribed activities 
• Recent changes to labour hire law and increased compliance requirements throughout supply chains  
• Key recent and upcoming LHA actions in the construction industry 
• An opportunity to ask questions and discuss the changes. 

For details of these sessions, and to register, visit the Events page on the LHA website.
