What you need to know 

New minimum standards for on-demand delivery workers are now in effect, creating important compliance considerations for digital labour platform operators across Australia.


A digital labour platform is an app or online platform that connects workers with customers and facilitates the performance of work. For on-demand delivery, this can include businesses that engage independent contractors through a platform to deliver food, beverages, alcohol or groceries.


If your business operates this type of platform, it is important to understand whether your workers and delivery services are covered by the new standards and what requirements apply to your operations.


This checklist provides a practical overview of the key requirements and the areas your business should review to support ongoing compliance.
