The Labour Hire Authority (LHA) is an independent statutory body responsible for administering the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic). Our purpose is to improve the transparency and integrity of the labour hire industry and protect workers from exploitation. Our Vision is that all labour hire workers in Victoria are protected from exploitation.The Victorian Government established the LHA in 2019 in response to the Victorian Inquiry into the Labour Hire Industry and Insecure Work which uncovered widespread abuse and exploitation of labour hire workers across Victoria. The key elements of the licensing scheme are:• labour hire providers must be licensed to operate in Victoria• hosts (labour hire users) must only use licensed providers• labour hire providers must continue comply with workplace laws, report annually on their labour hire activities.If you are just a labour hire worker you don't need a licence but you should check that your provider has a licence.Labour Hire Licensing Commissioner Steve Dargavel leads the LHA and is assisted by a dedicated team who undertake licensing, education, compliance, and enforcement activities as set out in the Labour Hire Licensing Act and Regulations.To learn more visit www.labourhireauthority.vic.gov.au
