By going through the recruitment process, you will hopefully find potential workers who have the right skills to work in your business. 

Before you hire anyone, you need to check if they are legally allowed to work in Australia.

As an employer, you have legal obligations to check this. You must only employ legal workers – that is, Australian citizens, permanent residents, New Zealand citizens and non-citizens with Australian visas that permit them to work in Australia.

Your obligations or the tax rates that apply to your workers may differ depending on their residency or visa type, for example working holiday makers.
