Providers subject to licensing action in August 2026
1 October 2026
In August 2026, the Labour Hire Authority (LHA) refused or cancelled ten licences. One provider had their licence renewal application refused.
Under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic), penalties for using or providing unlicensed labour hire services may exceed:
- $660,000 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 2026 saw four providers have bespoke conditions imposed on their licence.
For providers operating in industries with higher risks of worker exploitation and unlawful conduct, LHA applies standard conditions to all new licences, as well as progressively to existing licences.
Standard licence conditions were applied to 46 providers in August 2026.
A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to licence cancellation or penalties exceeding $160,000 for a corporation. For more information, visit Licence Conditions.
During the month, 157 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.
