Providers subject to licensing action from October to December 2025
Compliance with legal obligations
Licensed labour hire providers that do not comply with their obligations may have their licence cancelled or suspended unless the Labour Hire Licensing Compliance Unit (LHLCU) is satisfied that an applicant meets the licensing criteria. This includes that relevant persons are compliant with their legal obligations and are fit and proper persons, and the business is financially viable—their application may be refused.
Did you know that conditions may be imposed either at the time of granting the license or after? Conditions help LHLCU monitor the compliance of the provider.
Publishing details of LHLCU licensing decisions increase public awareness of the licensing scheme, which include:
promoting compliance with the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 (the LHL Act) and other legal obligations
protecting labour hire workers and businesses who operate ethically and responsibly
maintaining the Register of Licensed Labour Hire Providers.
Businesses should use the tools on the LHLCU website to ensure providers have a valid licence:
Check the online register and ensure the business is licensed.
Report any suspected non-compliant or unlawful activity using the lodge a report tool or phone 1300 576 088.
