What's new?
From 1 July 2023 every Victorian business will need to have a licence to employ children under 15 years old.
The new system replaces the permit system that was put into place on 1 July last year.
What is the benefit?
The permit system works on a permit per employee basis, meaning the business needed a permit for each child under 15.
The licence system is a one off licence for the business which covers the employment of any child under the age of 15.
Do you need a licence if you already have a permit?
You do not need a licence for employee's under 15 who you already have a permit for, these will continue to be valid post 1 July 2023. But, you will need a licence to cover any new employees under 15 from 1 July 2023.
Exemptions
Parents or guardians do not need to have a licence to employ their child/ren in their family business.
