Before you create a Labour Hire Licensing Online (LHLO) account

A nominated officer (NO) is required to be the LHLO account holder and complete this application for a labour hire licence. The NO must be a natural person who is responsible for the day-to-day conducting of the business to which the licence relates.

  • If you are a sole trader, you will be the NO.
  • If the applicant is a body corporate, the NO must be an officer of the body corporate.
  • For all other organisations, the NO must be a natural person who has sufficient knowledge of the organisation to be able to:
    • complete the application truthfully
    • declare that the information provided in the application is true and correct, and
    • declare that relevant persons named in the application are fit and proper persons at the time the application is made.

A nominated officer is a relevant person (RP) in relation to the application and is required to provide personal information and undergo a criminal history check.

As a NO you must create your account using your full legal name as shown on your identity documents.

The Labour Hire Authority (LHA) recommends reviewing the application checklist and having information ready before you start to fill out the application form. To understand he information and supporting documentation you will need to complete an application, view the apply for a licence page. Once you have started an application, you can save your progress, and resume the application at another time. 

If you do not understand a question, select the hyperlinks for help, contact LHA or seek appropriate professional advice. You must not answer a question you do not understand.

Offence to provide false and misleading information

You must answer the questions in the application truthfully. Under section 87 of the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 it is an offence to give LHA information that is believed to be false or misleading in a material particular, or to produce a document that you know is false or misleading (without indicating the respect in which it is false or misleading and if practicable providing the correct information). If you knowingly provide false or misleading information you could receive a substantial fine and your application for a licence could be refused, or a licence that is granted could be cancelled.

Contact with relevant persons

Nominated officers should inform a relevant person named in the application that they will receive an email from LHA requiring the RP to provide information as part of the application process.
