Verified for Tasmania

  • Licence liability condition: Not applicable. With no labour hire licence in Tasmania there is no licence for an insurance condition to attach to. A recruiter who employs the workers it places still carries the workers compensation obligations that come with being an employer. TAS · effective 2026-08-25 Tasmania Government · 2026-08-25
  • Licence evidence required: Not applicable. No labour hire licence exists in Tasmania. TAS · effective 2026-08-25 Tasmania Government · 2026-08-25
  • Licensing body: Tasmania has no labour hire licensing scheme. The official index of all Tasmanian Acts and statutory rules in force returns zero occurrences of labour hire, labour-hire, employment agent and recruit. That is a title-level negative across the complete corpus of Tasmanian primary and subordinate legislation, and for a scheme of this kind — every jurisdiction that has one enacted a dedicated, distinctly titled Act — it is close to conclusive.

What contracts commonly ask for

Principals and head contractors set their own insurance requirements, and those are frequently higher than a licence condition. The requirement that binds is the higher of the two, and both have to be read from the actual document.

What this cover costs

This site publishes no cost benchmark for this cover. A benchmark needs a real sample of documents, and none is published until the sample is large enough to compute a median honestly. A benchmark from a handful of policies is a guess with a decimal point.
