Our Labour Hire Licence was first granted in October 2019 at the commencement of the scheme, our Licence number is VICLHL01242 and it is currently valid until the 25th October 2025. GBS Recruitment Pty Ltd (Licence Holder) is authorised to provide labour hire services subject to the licence conditions set out in the Act.

To obtain this licence we were required to pass a “fit and proper person test” and show compliance with workplace laws, labour hire laws and minimum accommodation standards. We are also required to report annually on our activities and there are financial penalties for non-compliance to both recruitment organisations, and businesses who engage labour hire without a licence or via non licenced entities.

Whilst the new licencing scheme is an interesting new regulatory development in the Recruitment industry, for GBS Recruitment, our Clients and Candidates, its business as usual, as we continue to provide quality labour hire and recruitment services across Gippsland and beyond.
