Compliance & Labour Hire
Compliance isn't a footnote for GridForce - it's the product. Here's how we approach our obligations.
Labour-hire licensing (Victoria)
Grid Force Hire Pty Ltd is licensed as a labour-hire provider under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic) by the Victorian Labour Hire Authority, licence number VICLHL11668, in force from 23 Oct 2026 to 23 Oct 2029. The licence can be checked on the Authority's public register. Supplying workers to a host in Victoria requires a labour-hire licence, and host businesses that use an unlicensed provider also commit an offence - so we take verification seriously on both sides.
Electrical licensing
Every electrician we supply holds a current Victorian A-Grade Electrician's Licence issued by Energy Safe Victoria. Electrical installation work is carried out in accordance with Victorian electrical safety requirements. We record and verify each licence number and expiry as part of intake, and flag renewals before they lapse.
Worker verification
Before any electrician is deployed, we verify:
- Victorian electrical licence (number, level and expiry)
- Site tickets and cards - Construction Induction / White Card, working-at-heights, EWP, LV/HV rescue and first aid, as required
- Security clearance (e.g. NV1) and expiry, where a site requires it
- Right to work and identity documents
Work health and safety
Grid Force is the employer of every electrician it places, and the host controls the site and directs the work. Both owe the electrician a safe workplace under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic). Our Work Health and Safety Policy sets out who is responsible for what, how every placement is verified, how the host's Safe Work Method Statement is confirmed before work starts, and what happens if there is an incident.

Insurance & workers' compensation
Public liability insurance and workers' compensation cover are in place for every placement before work starts; no electrician is deployed without both, and certificates of currency are available to hosts on request. Electricians engaged casually are covered under Grid Force's arrangements while on assignment.
Fair Work & tax
Casual engagements are structured to comply with the Fair Work Act and the National Employment Standards, including casual loading in lieu of leave entitlements. GridForce manages superannuation guarantee contributions and PAYG withholding for the electricians it engages.
Security & privacy
Personal and licence information is handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles. Uploaded documents are stored securely and access is restricted by role - see our Privacy Policy.
