Licensed labour hire provider under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic)- Workers paid to the correct award for site or workshop work
How we keep your site compliant.
Anyone doing construction work in Victoria must hold a White Card. Electricians are licensed by Energy Safe Victoria, and plumbers are registered or licensed by the Building and Plumbing Commission, which replaced the VBA in July 2025. We check every card and licence before placement.
Scaffolding, rigging, dogging and boom-type elevating work platforms of 11 m or more need a high risk work licence, and fall risks above 2 m need specific controls under the OHS Regulations 2017. We match tickets to the task.
Structural steel welding is done to AS/NZS 1554, with welders qualified to AS/NZS ISO 9606-1. We’re also a licensed provider under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic).

Do labourers need a White Card in Victoria?
Yes. Anyone carrying out construction work in Victoria must have completed general construction induction training and hold a White Card, including labourers. We check every worker’s card before they’re sent to site.
How do you check a tradesperson’s licence?
We sight the original licence or certificate and check it against the issuing body’s public register where one exists, such as Energy Safe Victoria for electricians and the Building and Plumbing Commission for plumbers, before placement.
Which award covers construction labourers and trades?
It depends on the work. On-site construction work generally falls under the Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020, while workshop and fabrication work usually falls under the Manufacturing and Associated Industries and Occupations Award 2020. We pay to the correct award and classification for each role.
What is a SWMS, and who prepares it?
A safe work method statement sets out high risk construction work, its hazards and how they’re controlled. The person conducting the business that carries out the work prepares it, usually with the workers involved, before the work starts. Our workers follow the SWMS for each site.
