Labour Hire Licences

In reply to Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (24 September 2018). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): I have been advised of the following

There have been a total of 121 applications received for labour hire licences, none of which have been granted. Consumer and Business Services (CBS) is no longer accepting new applications for labour hire licences. All applicants to date have paid both the application fee and the annual renewal fee. The application fee for both an individual and company licence is $550.00. The annual renewal fee for an individual licence is $220, whilst a company licence is $1,200. CBS has received and would need to refund approximately $200,000 in application and grant fees if the Act is successfully repealed.
