All about EOR Australia

Your Australian hires
legally employed by us

EOR Australia provides employer of record cover to companies that have no Australian entity. The contract, payroll and super sit with us as your employer of record, while you choose the person, direct the work and settle one invoice a month.

Hiring one person in Australia normally means a Pty Ltd, an ABN, PAYG registration, state payroll tax and a workers’ compensation policy. EOR Australia exists so your first hire can start before any of that is needed.

Our story

Why we started

Many overseas companies find a strong candidate in Australia and then stall on superannuation, modern awards and state rules they have never met. Global platforms tend to quote one price per country but give little help reading an award or a payroll tax threshold.

We work on Australia alone, as employer of record, at a flat monthly fee, with specialists in Australian employment answering your questions.

Principles

How we run each placement

Each one applies to every placement, from the opening costing to the employee’s last payslip.

We hold the contract

We hold the employment contract and run payroll as employer of record; you choose the person and direct the daily work.

A contact who knows you

Emily, your client success manager, handles every question on your account, so nothing is passed between departments.

Answers from people

Specialists in Australian employment answer each question themselves, by email or on a booked video call.

Records kept in full

Every hire gets a written contract, the Fair Work Information Statement and a TFN declaration before the first pay.

Team size can change

Add a second hire in Perth or end an arrangement with the correct NES notice; the fee applies per employee, per month.

Pricing in plain view

One published fee from USD 560 monthly per person; salary, super and state costs show as separate invoice lines.

Your support

Who helps your Australian team

Four roles cover your account and your employees, each working with the Australian authorities that apply.

Your account director

Ben sets up your account, agrees the pay cycle and reviews each invoice with your finance contact.

Payroll, tax and super

Lachlan runs PAYG withholding for the ATO, lodges STP Phase 2 reports each payday and sends super to each employee’s chosen fund within 7 business days.

HR and employee questions

Jess answers leave, payslip and award questions, and points employees to the Fair Work Ombudsman where useful.

Contracts and first payday

Emily issues the contract with the Fair Work Information Statement, collects the TFN declaration and the employee’s super fund choice, and confirms the first pay date.

Every question about your Australian team goes to a named person.
