Hi peeps I have recently started working as a trades assistant/labourer.
I work under an ABN for a guy and also work for a labour hire company.
Am I covered for workplace injury in any of these places?
-Work under ABN - there is no contract. Just a verbal agreement of $/hour
-Labour hire - I signed a contract. But there was no mention of insurance.
Should I get my own insurance?
Thanks
Definitely. You working under an ABN is you running your own business. You not only should get insurance for yourself such as sickness, but also public liability insurance in case you make a mistake and get sued.
