Compliance in labour hire is not just a box-ticking exercise. In WA’s mining and civil industries, compliance is central to safety, workforce stability and project success. With multiple contractors, tight schedules and high safety standards, choosing the right labour hire partner can make all the difference.
So, what should you look for when selecting a labour hire partner who takes compliance seriously?
Strong understanding of WA legislation
Mining and civil workforces in Western Australia are governed by strict workplace laws, safety regulations and licensing requirements. A compliant labour hire partner will know the ins and outs of WA’s regulatory landscape and ensure all workers meet legal standards before stepping onto site. This means correct licences, tickets and qualifications are verified every time.
Commitment to safety as a priority
Compliance and safety go hand in hand. A reliable labour hire partner will embed safety into recruitment, induction and ongoing workforce management. From site inductions to up-to-date safety tickets, a compliant provider will ensure workers arrive job-ready and aligned with your site’s requirements. Safety is not only about compliance but also about building trust and retaining workers long-term.
Transparent employment practices
Compliance also means fair and transparent employment practices. Look for a partner who pays workers correctly, follows Fair Work requirements and manages contracts in line with industry standards. Transparency creates stability, which benefits both employers and workers.
Proven track record in mining and civil
WA mining and civil projects come with unique compliance needs that not every labour hire company understands. A compliant partner will have proven experience working with large-scale projects across the state, with references and case studies to back it up. This shows they know what it takes to keep projects staffed safely and legally.
Ongoing workforce support
Compliance does not stop once a worker is placed. A strong partner will provide ongoing workforce support, monitoring tickets and licences, checking in with workers and ensuring you are always audit-ready. This proactive approach prevents issues before they arise and reduces project risk.
