Providers subject to licensing action in August 2025
2 October 2025
In August 2025, the Labour Hire Authority (LHA) refused or cancelled 11 licences.
Under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic), penalties for using or providing unlicensed labour hire services may exceed:
- $650,000 for a corporation
- $160,000 for an individual.
It is also unlawful to advertise the provision of labour hire services in Victoria without a licence.
August 2025 saw 13 providers have conditions imposed on their licence. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to licence cancellation or penalties exceeding $160,000 for a corporation.
During the month, 131 applicants had a licence granted or renewed, enabling them to lawfully provide labour hire services in Victoria.
Compliance with legal obligations
Licensed labour hire providers that do not comply with their legal obligations may have their licence cancelled, suspended, or have conditions imposed.
Unless LHA is satisfied that an applicant meets the licensing criteria – including that relevant persons are compliant with their legal obligations and are fit and proper persons – their application may be refused.
Businesses should use the tools on the LHA website to ensure providers have a valid licence:
- Check a provider is licensed using LHA’s Labour Hire Licence Register.
- Stay up to date on any changes to a provider’s licence status using Follow my Providers.
- Report any suspected non-compliant or unlawful activity using the Report a Problem tool.
