NEW LABOUR HIRE PROVIDERS LICENSING SCHEME

You are invited to the official launch of the Queensland Government’s labour hire licensing scheme.

The scheme commences on 16 April 2018, and is designed to protect workers from exploitation and promote the integrity of the labour hire industry in Queensland.

The scheme requires labour hire providers to be licensed and users of labour hire to use only licensed providers.

The Honourable Minster Grace Grace MP will launch the scheme to local media, industry stakeholders and labour hire workers at this event.

To obtain a licence, a labour hire provider must demonstrate that they are fit and proper to provide labour hire services, can comply with relevant State and Commonwealth laws and that the labour hire business is financially viable.

Existing labour hire providers have until 15 June 2018 to apply for a licence. These providers can continue to operate while their application is being processed provided they apply before 15 June 2018.

For registration enquiries, please call (07) 3406 9747 (during business hours) or email labourhire@oir.qld.gov.au
