🛡️ Compliance

Compliance isn't a feature.
It's the foundation.

Every placement through SQS is backed by a licensed, transparent and legally compliant engagement model — protecting workers, host employers and agency partners alike.

✅ Licensed Labour Hire Provider — Victoria

Software Quality Services Pty Ltd (ABN 21 670 694 041) operates as a licensed labour hire provider under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic), regulated by the Labour Hire Authority. Engaging an unlicensed provider is illegal in Victoria for both the provider and the host — our licence protects everyone in the chain.

You can verify our licence at any time on the Labour Hire Authority public register →

  • LinkedIn profiles or home addresses

Contact details are shared only after a candidate consents to a specific interview request. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
