Expanding your business to Australia has never been easier. With Remire’s Employer of Record (EOR) services in Australia, you can hire, pay, and manage top Australian talent without the cost or complexity of setting up a local entity.

What Is an Employer of Record (EOR) in Australia?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf. While your company manages the employee’s daily work, the EOR handles all local HR, payroll, tax, and compliance responsibilities.
How an EOR Helps You Hire Without an Entity
- No need to register a business or subsidiary in Australia.
- The EOR manages payroll, superannuation, and local taxes.
- You stay focused on your core operations while remaining 100% compliant.
Legal Framework for EOR in Australia
Remire operates under Australia’s Fair Work Act 2009, ensuring all contracts meet local employment standards, minimum wages, and superannuation obligations.
Key Employment Regulations in Australia Your EOR Will Handle
Hiring in Australia means navigating one of the world’s most employee-protective labor systems. Remire manages the details, ensuring your operations stay compliant.
Fair Work Act & National Employment Standards (NES)
The NES guarantees fair working hours, paid leave, and notice periods. We make sure every employment contract meets these standards so your employees are protected and your business stays compliant.
Superannuation Compliance
Employers must contribute a set percentage of salaries to employee retirement funds. Remire calculates and submits these contributions accurately and on time, avoiding costly penalties.
Leave Entitlements
Employees are entitled to paid annual, personal, and parental leave. We manage accruals, track balances, and ensure compliance with national award conditions.
