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.
