Victoria’s labour hire regulator refuses to renew the licence of Women in Construction, a firm described as women-only in its recruitment practices. Multiple outlets report that the Victorian labour hire commissioner takes action on the basis that the company is not considered “fit and proper” to hold a licence. The decision follows information that the business is run by men who have criminal records. As a result, the firm’s licence is stripped or not renewed, according to the reporting. The articles describe the regulator’s assessment as a compliance and licensing matter under Victorian labour hire arrangements, rather than an allegation tied to a specific worksite incident. Across the coverage, the central elements are consistent: the regulator’s refusal to renew the licence, the “fit and proper” test, and the finding that the firm’s management includes individuals with criminal records. The reports focus on the licence outcome and the reasons cited by the regulator, without detailing further specifics of the criminal records or operational details beyond the company’s leadership.
