Back-Office Services in Canberra
HR and people operations for Canberra businesses. Employment contracts, workplace policies, award compliance and employee management.
Local Context
Canberra's business landscape, understood.
Australian employment law is complex, and the consequences of non-compliance are severe — from underpayment claims and unfair dismissal proceedings to penalties for breaching the National Employment Standards. Canberra businesses need HR support that goes beyond payroll processing to cover employment contracts, workplace policies, award compliance, and the day-to-day people management challenges that every employer faces.
Official ACT sources
Australian Capital Territory compliance, straight from the source
The bodies every Canberra employer deals with, current as at June 2026. Figures that change each year — like payroll-tax thresholds — link straight to the official source, so you always get the current number, never a stale one.
Payroll tax
The ACT levies payroll tax above the territory threshold (one of the highest in Australia). Confirm the current threshold and rate with the ACT Revenue Office.

Common questions about back-office services in Canberra
Yes. We provide guidance on the lawful process for termination based on the circumstances (redundancy, poor performance, misconduct, probation, casual). We help you document the process correctly, calculate final entitlements, and manage the termination in a way that minimises the risk of unfair dismissal claims. For complex matters, we connect you with employment lawyers in our referral network.
We review your existing contracts during onboarding and identify any gaps or non-compliance. Common issues include contracts that don't reference the applicable Modern Award, outdated NES entitlements, and missing casual conversion provisions. We provide updated compliant templates and can re-issue contracts where necessary.
We provide HR advisory covering contracts, policies, compliance guidance, and day-to-day people management support. For matters involving legal proceedings (unfair dismissal hearings, discrimination claims, enterprise agreement negotiation), we connect you with employment lawyers who specialise in your situation. The line between advisory and legal is clear, and we never overstep it.
