Australian Employer of Record

While setting up your own Australian entity offers full operational control, it also involves complex and time-consuming regulatory processes.

Our EOR service is the smarter alternative when you need agility and simplicity. By engaging ABN Australia as your legal employer, you gain access to the Australian market without the burden of local payroll administration, tax compliance, employment law, and HR management.

Our experienced team takes care of the entire employee lifecycle – from onboarding and payroll to benefits administration and regulatory reporting – ensuring your people are supported and compliant, while you focus on growing your business.

Let us be the local employer, so you can be the global visionary.

Our EOR solution is designed to give you end-to-end support across every aspect of employee management in Australia.

We act as the legal employer, handling all compliance, HR, and payroll obligations so you can focus on leading your team and expanding your business.

Here is what our comprehensive service covers:

1. Tax Registration and Compliance
As the legal employer, ABN Australia is fully registered with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). We manage all statutory payroll tax obligations, including the withholding and remittance of income tax and payroll tax. Our team ensures ongoing compliance through timely lodgements and reporting to relevant authorities.

2. Payroll Administration
We process employee payroll in accordance with Australian legislation and state-specific requirements. This includes accurate calculation of wages, deductions, garnishments, leave entitlements, and expense reimbursements. We align payment cycles and methods with legal standards, industry practices, and your preferences wherever possible. 

3. Superannuation and Benefits
We manage enrolments with superannuation (pension) funds, workers’ compensation providers, and, where applicable, health insurance schemes. Whether the benefits are mandated by law or chosen by the client to enhance employee retention, we ensure full compliance and administration.

4. Legally Compliant Employment Contracts
We provide jurisdiction-specific employment agreements tailored to the employment type: permanent, fixed-term, or casual. Our contracts are designed to protect all parties while ensuring compliance with Australian labour laws.

5. Right-to-Work and Pre-Employment Checks
We verify that all employees have the legal right to work in Australia and meet the minimum qualifications required for their roles. This helps ensure compliance and workforce integrity from day one.

6. Employee Onboarding
Our onboarding process is simple, efficient, and fully managed. We take care of paperwork, induction planning, and compliance briefings, ensuring a smooth transition for both the employee and your company. 

7. Ongoing Support and Reviews
From day one through to the end of the employment lifecycle, we provide regular employee check-ins and maintain communication between the employee and client. This includes supporting workplace health and safety obligations, helping resolve HR matters, and maintaining engagement throughout the term of employment.

8. Offboarding, Termination and Rehiring
When an employee’s role comes to an end, we guide and manage the offboarding process in line with Australian legal requirements. We also support contract renewals and rehires when your business needs change.

Our EOR service is designed to help international businesses hire employees in Australia quickly, without the need to set up a local company.

Here is how we support your business:

1. Simplify Global Expansion
Setting up a local subsidiary can take months and come with significant legal, administrative, and financial overhead. Our EOR solution eliminates that barrier. With us, you can onboard employees in Australia in a matter of days – not months – giving you the speed to act on business opportunities when they arise.

2. Personalised, Expert Support
From onboarding to offboarding, our in-house team of HR, legal, and compliance professionals works closely with you every step of the way. We provide tailored support based on your industry, operating model, and strategic goals, so you always feel guided, not just managed.

3. Local Compliance, Handled for You
Australia’s labour laws, tax obligations, and employment standards can be complex. Our compliance team stays across every change, so you do not have to. We act as the legal employer, taking on the responsibility and risk of local employment while keeping you protected and up to date.

4. Reduce Risk of Misclassification
Hiring independent contractors may seem like a shortcut, but it can come with serious risks if regulators deem the relationship to be one of employment. By using ABN Australia as your EOR, your workers are legally classified as employees, greatly reducing the risk of misclassification and associated penalties.

5. Protect Your Intellectual Property
When engaging talent internationally, safeguarding your IP matters. Our compliant employment structures ensure you retain full ownership of all intellectual property and inventions developed by your Australian workforce.

6. Integrated Solutions, Tailored to You
Unlike standalone providers, ABN Australia offers a truly integrated model that spans HR, accounting, compliance, and EOR services. That means we are not just here to provide one solution. We are here to build the right combination of support for every stage of your business journey.
