With almost 4,000 unprocessed licence applications back-logged in the system and the Victorian Labour Hire Authority processing them at a rate of no more than about 300 per month, it’s going to be a long time before there are any new entrants to the Victorian labour hire market!

So, if you’re planning on operating within the Victorian licensing catchment (and it’s not restricted to the state of Victoria!) any time in the next 18 months, it might be prudent to get your application lodged before midnight on 31 December 2019.

it looks like plenty of providers are taking advantage of the Authority’s extended grace period.
