Employee-like Reforms and the Hireup Community

The Federal Government is currently considering changes to the law which will impact how workers are treated on some platforms in the gig economy, including platforms in the NDIS. These are known as the 'employee-like’ reforms

These proposed reforms will not impact Hireup or our community.

This is because our workers are already employees, and already enjoy many of the employment standards the government is seeking to extend to independent contractors on other platforms.
