Hiring Across Australia & Oceania

Australia is one of the most regulated employment markets in the Asia-Pacific region, governed by a national framework that leaves little room for informal arrangements. Employers must navigate the Fair Work Act 2009, the National Employment Standards, and a system of modern awards that set minimum pay and conditions by industry and occupation. Compulsory superannuation, paid leave entitlements, and strict unfair-dismissal protections mean that even a single hire carries meaningful compliance obligations. Companies expanding into Australia, New Zealand, and the wider Oceania region frequently use an Employer of Record to begin operations quickly — testing a market or onboarding a key hire — without first incorporating a local entity and registering for payroll, tax, and workers’ compensation. TMS helps companies coordinate compliant EOR engagements across Australia and Oceania through an established EOR partner network, while applying the governance discipline built over 20+ years of HR operations.

Key Hiring Considerations Across Australia & Oceania

Country	Notable Employment Feature	Typical Notice Period
Australia	Fair Work Act, modern awards and compulsory superannuation (employer contribution around 11.5% of ordinary earnings)	1–5 weeks, scaling with length of service
New Zealand	Employment Relations Act, KiwiSaver retirement savings and a 90-day trial period for eligible employers	As specified in the agreement, commonly 2–4 weeks
Fiji	Employment Relations Act governing written contracts and minimum conditions	Typically 1 month
Papua New Guinea	Employment Act setting baseline standards for leave and termination	Statutory minimum scaling with service

How EOR Simplifies Australia & Oceania Expansion

Onboard employees in Australia or New Zealand within days, without incorporating a local company or opening local tax registrations first.
Ensure correct classification under the relevant modern award, including minimum pay rates, penalty rates, and allowances.
Administer compulsory superannuation, PAYG withholding, payroll tax, and workers’ compensation insurance through the EOR.
Issue compliant written contracts and Fair Work Information Statements, reducing exposure to unfair-dismissal and underpayment claims.
Consolidate multi-country Oceania payroll and reporting under a single coordinated engagement managed by TMS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need an Australian entity to hire one employee?

No. An Employer of Record can act as the legal employer in Australia, allowing you to engage staff compliantly while you assess the market. You retain day-to-day direction of the employee’s work, and the EOR handles payroll, superannuation, and statutory obligations.

How is superannuation handled?

Compulsory superannuation is paid by the employer into a complying fund on top of salary. Under an EOR arrangement, the EOR calculates and remits superannuation guarantee contributions on schedule, so the obligation is met without you managing an Australian payroll yourself.

Can TMS support hiring in New Zealand as well?

Yes. TMS coordinates compliant EOR engagements across Australia, New Zealand, and other Oceania markets through its partner network, giving you a single point of contact for multi-country hiring and consolidated reporting.
