Engaging offshore contingent workers
With the rise of global mobility occurring in the workforce, we are seeing an increase in the volume of offshore contracting occurring.
To ensure we are meeting our legislative requirements as a University, we ask that prior to engaging an offshore contractor you complete the contractor assessment form.
This form will guide you to the correct team who will analyse any concerns that may arise from the contractor you are seeking to engage.

How can I engage an individual based off-shore to work for the University

What other costs do I need to be aware of when engaging off-shore individual contracts?
Depending on the home-country of the individual being engaged, external expert advice may need to be sought to ensure compliance with the ATO (Australian Taxation Office). The approximate cost for obtaining this advice is $7-$10k and is carried by the Faculty/Division requesting the engagement.
