The Labour Hire Licensing Compliance Unit (LHLCU) is seeking compliance specialists with an interest in making a positive impact on protecting vulnerable workers in the labour hire industry. Labour hire is a type of employment where a labour hire provider hires out workers to a host employer/user, and is commonly used in the agriculture/horticulture, security, construction, mining and healthcare industries. The LHLCU regulates the labour hire industry throughout Queensland.
As a Principal Inspector, you will be involved in activities relating to licensing of labour hire providers (including risk assessments and audits of licence applications) and investigating non-compliance (including evidence gathering for the purpose of compliance actions such as prosecutions), and stakeholder engagement. The role involves field operations, requiring travel throughout Queensland.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct compliance activities (risk assessments, audits of licence applications, licensee reviews and investigations of offences) and draft related reports, correspondence and notices under the Act, that demonstrate a strong understanding of administrative decision-making principles.
- Produce quality case files and provide advice on their progression.
- Provide authoritative and professional information on labour hire legislation and conduct in-person community education for labour hire businesses, workers, industrial organisations, the legal and accounting professions and the public in both regional and metropolitan areas of Queensland.

- Interpret the Act and relevant laws to provide advice about the operation of the
Act, identify novel issues and exercise statutory powers appropriately.
- Recognise and analyse compliance risk on a case and systemic level and use evidence to make recommendations about risk treatment.
How You Will Be Assessed: We'll assess your merit for this role by looking at what you've done previously - the knowledge, skills and experience you've built, your potential for development and your personal qualities.
We'll Consider How Well You
