Subcontracting arrangements

Example

Licence required

Shine Bright Cleaning Pty Ltd (Shine Bright) have an ongoing contract with Holiday Rentals Pty Ltd to clean their rental accommodation properties.

Shine Bright chooses to subcontract some of the work out to Sharon’s cleaning business.

There is no business relationship between Holiday Rentals and Sharon. Should any issues arise in relation to the cleaning work, Holiday Rentals will raise this with Shine Bright.

No

Shine Bright does not need a licence as they have a contract to provide cleaning services to Holiday Rentals Pty Ltd, not workers.

Sharon does not require a licence as Sharon operates her own independent cleaning business and has a genuine subcontracting arrangement with Shine Bright.

Sharon may have multiple subcontracting arrangements with other cleaning businesses.
