Using LHLO Portal to pay an annual licence fee

Expand All

All labour hire providers in Victoria are required to pay licence fees under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018. These must be paid at application, annually and at licence renewal.

You must pay an annual licence fee:

  • when your licence is granted, and;
  • at the start of each 12-month period after your licence is issued until the licence expires.

Fees can be paid using Visa, Mastercard or BPAY® through the Labour Hire Licensing Online (LHLO) portal.

Viewing annual licence fee
