Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Labour Hire Authority Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

The Labour Hire Authority (LHA) protects Victorian workers from exploitation and improves transparency and integrity in the labour hire industry by regulating businesses that provide or use labour hire services.  LHA licences labour hire providers, monitors and enforces compliance, and supports providers, hosts and workers to understand and comply with their legal obligations.

Established to administer the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic) (LHL Act), LHA is an independent agency whose work is wholly funded by licence fees from labour hire businesses.  Since 2019, LHA has expanded its program of industry engagement, compliance and enforcement, growing its small and dedicated team to around 120 staff and establishing a strong track record.

LHA employees are offered hybrid and flexible working arrangements in accordance with Victorian Public Service and LHA policies. Our offices are located in Melbourne CBD and Bendigo.

The daily working life of our SCOs is challenging, varied and rewarding. It may involve conducting desk-based analysis of complex business, employment and financial records; conducting interviews with applicants or licence holders; conducting field inspections and speaking with workers, providers and hosts; working with other regulators and law enforcement agencies; and preparing complex correspondence and reports recommending compliance or enforcement action.

Officers investigate compliance with a broad range of legal obligations, including labour hire, taxation, superannuation, workplace, migration, accommodation and occupational health and safety laws.
