Meeting Agenda

Join Tania Bowers, Global Policy Director and share your views and help shape APSCo's submission.

 

The consultation seeks views on proposals to:

  • place less emphasis on personal service when determining worker status
  • improve compliance with the employment status framework, including through a presumption of worker status and enforcement measures
  • strengthen protections for the self-employed, including through written statements, blacklisting protections and health and safety protections

 

We need to consider this from the perspective of agency workers, although this is not reviewing employment status for tax.

 

To hear more about the consultation and to contribute to APSCo’s submission please register for online meeting:

 

Closes: 8th January 2027
