Labour hire industry resource pack

Labour hire businesses carry a unique kind of exposure – placing workers across multiple hosts and Awards while still holding the employer, PCBU, and licensing obligations themselves. This pack brings together seven resources covering the areas that matter most for the sector and the pay, classification, and licensing pressures reshaping labour hire specifically. This pack is a practical starting point for any labour hire provider wanting a clearer picture of where they stand.
