What a Labour Hire Agreement Records
A labour hire agreement is the supply contract between a staffing provider and the host brokerage. The provider employs or otherwise engages the worker. The host directs the day-to-day placement within the agreed duties. The host pays the provider’s service charges. The Fair Work Ombudsman’s labour hire guidance explains who pays labour hire employees and provides their entitlements.
Use an employment contract when the brokerage hires a worker directly. If the brokerage engages an independent loan writer directly, use a contractor agreement for those services. A migration labour agreement is an arrangement with the Australian Government for sponsoring skilled overseas workers.
Prepare the Placement and Service Schedule
The form opens on a fictional Victorian placement. Example Staffing supplies one loan administration assistant to Example Brokerage’s Geelong office from 2 to 27 August 2027. Casey Example supervises document indexing and refers credit work to authorised staff. If several people cover a role, list each worker or record the role and headcount in Workers or role schedule.
The example charges $68 per approved hour plus GST where payable. Casey approves hours each Friday. The provider invoices weekly and the host pays within 14 days of receiving the invoice. Use Worker pay and entitlements to record the provider’s responsibilities separately from the charges paid by the host.
Record the address for notices and who signs for each business. Confirm the qualifications a replacement needs and who approves the replacement. Set a notice period and explain how approved work goes into the final invoice if the placement ends early.
Provider and Host Responsibilities
Check the licensing rules where the work will occur. Where a scheme requires a licence, match the supplier’s legal entity to an active licence and check its conditions. The regulators publish guidance for Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. Record the details once you check them. The tool performs no registry lookup.
The provider and host must each meet their workplace safety duties and coordinate where those duties overlap. Agree who verifies skills, runs the site induction, gives work instructions and acts on incidents. Use WorkSafe Victoria’s placement checklists for a Victorian placement. Find your local workplace safety regulator for duties in another jurisdiction.
List which client files and systems the worker can use. Assign individual access, name who receives incident reports and set a deadline to return records and remove access. If the work involves credit activities, check the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s credit licensing guidance. Record the actual authorisation, permitted activities and supervisor before assigning that work.
The labour hire employer pays employees under applicable workplace laws and instruments. Search the Fair Work Commission’s list of orders for a regulated labour hire arrangement order covering the parties and workers. Where the protected pay requirement applies, the provider pays at least the applicable protected rate. The host must respond to a covered provider’s written request for information needed to calculate pay. See the Fair Work Ombudsman’s protected pay guidance for the requirements and exceptions.
Review and Download the Supply Agreement
Suppose the assistant moves to closed-file indexing. Update Duties and authority with the new scope, then change Service charges to $420 per approved shift plus GST where payable. If the parties agree to finish on 20 August, update the placement end date and record the notice and final invoice in Cancellation and notice. Keep unfinished terms, such as insurance in this example, open until both businesses agree on them.
Edit the agreement directly to refine a clause. Form changes preserve your edits until you select Discard edits and rebuild. Read the full draft for details still missing inside fields you filled.
