LHA statement on construction review
18 December 2024
The Victorian Government has announced that the Labour Hire Authority’s (LHA) regulatory powers will be strengthened to further address unlawful behaviour in the construction industry.
“We welcome today’s announcement and look forward to continuing our work to improve the integrity of the labour hire industry,” said Labour Hire Licensing Commissioner, Steve Dargavel.
LHA has taken a range of actions against labour hire providers in Victoria’s construction industry to date, including refusing and cancelling licences, and prosecuting unlawful behaviour.
LHA regulates Victoria’s labour hire industry by administering a licensing scheme under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic).
