THE ODCO SYSTEM

Contracting Solutions is an agency licensed under the ODCO system to engage workers as independent contractors who are on-hired to work with a specific client (see http://www.ODCO.com.au). In simple terms: workers are registered as ODCO independent contractors and are contracted to work with your business.

The ODCO model is akin to a system of labour-hire, however, commercial contracts (rather than “contracts of employment”) govern the ‘tri-partite’ relationship between Contracting Solutions, the client and the contractor. Contracting Solutions removes the uncertainty and risk associated with direct contractor engagement and direct employment. Workers engaged as ODCO independent contractors operate outside state and federal award systems and gain validity through the Independent Contractors’ Act 2007 and Federal and High Court decisions.
