Victoria implements new child employment laws

Victoria implements new child employment laws
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Victoria has introduced updated child employment laws aimed at ensuring the safety of children under 15 in the workplace. 

The reforms include a revamped and streamlined licensing system, along with stronger penalties for non-compliance. The state’s child employment watchdog, Wage Inspectorate Victoria, urges employers to familiarize themselves with the new regulations, as recent research has revealed common misconceptions about child employment.

The research highlights that 33% of Victorians mistakenly believe that children can start working at the age of 14 and 9 months, while an additional 25% think that the minimum age for employment is 15. However, under the new laws, children as young as 11 can engage in delivery work, and other types of employment can begin from the age of 13, provided the employer holds a valid license. The myth of 14 and 9 months likely stems from the historical age at which children were allowed to leave school and enter the workforce, although this age requirement is no longer applicable under the current child employment laws in Victoria.

Developed through consultation with stakeholders and the community, the updated laws introduce a licensing system to replace the previous permit system. This new system enables businesses to employ multiple children under a single license, eliminating the need for separate permits for each employed child. As part of the licensing process, employers will undergo a ‘fit and proper person’ test, which considers factors such as their compliance with child employment regulations and other relevant workplace laws.

Effective immediately, the Wage Inspectorate has been granted enhanced enforcement powers, with the maximum penalty for employing a child without a license increasing from $18,500 to over $200,000. In addition to obtaining a license, employers must adhere to other crucial rules, including providing adequate rest breaks for children, ensuring work finishes by 9pm, and preventing employment during school hours.

By implementing these new measures, Victoria aims to establish a safer and more efficient child employment framework, protecting the well-being and rights of young workers while simplifying the licensing process for businesses. Employers are encouraged to proactively comply with the updated laws and prioritize the safety and welfare of children in their workplace.

Commissioner of Wage Inspectorate Victoria Robert Hortle said: “Working can provide valuable experience for kids but they’re still developing both mentally and physically and require extra precautions in the workplace.” 

“The new system reduces the burden for businesses but not the protection for kids. We’ll still be out there monitoring compliance throughout the state.”

“Tougher penalties show that taking advantage of children in the workplace will not be tolerated. These are serious laws with serious consequences.”

“It’s great to give young workers a go, but it’s important to do so safely.”
