Members working on ACT Government-funded projects must be aware of their obligations under the Secure Local Jobs Code when engaging subcontractors:
Key Requirements:
- Before engaging any subcontractor on territory-funded work, you must notify the Territory and provide details of the proposed subcontractor.
- You must ensure that any subcontractor engaged holds a current Secure Local Jobs Code certificate and complies with the Code for the work performed.
What This Means for You:
- Do not engage subcontractors on ACT Government-funded projects without first confirming they are Code-certified.
- Keep documentation of notifications and certifications up to date.
- Reach out to MBA ACT’s Workplace and Industrial Relations team if you need help with compliance or checking certification status.
Reach out to us early for guidance—it’s always easier to prevent issues than to fix them after the fact.
