Frequently Asked Questions



Yes. We work with contractors operating through a Pty Ltd company structure, provided the arrangement meets enterprise and government compliance requirements. We’ll confirm company details, insurances, tax registrations, and compliance upfront to ensure a smooth onboarding process. Please note that we’re unable to engage sole traders, as most enterprise and government clients require incorporated or PAYG engagement models.


Absolutely. Some clients particularly in enterprise and government environments require contractors to be engaged and paid via an approved recruitment agency. In these cases, Balance can payroll you directly, either as a PAYG or Pty Ltd. This enables you to access a broader range of contract opportunities without compromising compliance or payment certainty.


Yes. If you’re engaged on a PAYG basis, you can nominate your superannuation fund of choice, in line with Australian super choice legislation. Balance ensures super contributions are calculated correctly and paid on time, giving you confidence your entitlements are managed properly.


Balance has a strong commitment to Work Health & Safety (WHS) and contractor compliance. Our processes are designed to meet enterprise and government expectations across:

  • WHS and safe work practices
  • Privacy and secure handling of personal information
  • Taxation and PAYG obligations
