The difference between staffing and a BPO is one clause: who is allowed to hire your own team member. Treasury's non-compete bill makes it worth reading.
Victoria said work from home would be protected in law from 1 September. On 10 September the Legislative Council sent the Bill to a select committee instead, and there is still no right and no obligation.
The ATO does not make you pay super on a non-resident employee working outside Australia. That is a clean rule with a messy consequence: the 12 percent you never spend is not margin, it is the budget for employing that person properly somewhere else.
An EOR and a staffing agency are priced on different things. One takes a slice of first-year salary once, the other a flat fee every month. Which you pick should turn on cashflow.
Support coordination becomes a commissioned service from 1 July 2028, with procurement in 2027 and consultation closing 2 October. The admin layer underneath it is the only cost you still control.
The ATO says contractors paid mainly for their labour are eligible for super guarantee. The exemption is for non-resident employees working outside Australia. Residency and location decide it, not the contract.
A record 6.9 per cent of Australians now hold more than one job. That familiarity is doing damage to how founders read the contractor test, and the ATO's list never mentioned other clients.
