Best EOR in Australia
This list ranks Employer of Record providers that run a compliant EOR in Australia, ordered by our Select Score. Fifty-two providers on record cover the country, and the cost table below shows each one's all-in monthly price at the average local wage. Australia ranks #103 of 192 in the Global Employer Burden Index 2026, so the gap between providers comes from entity setup, compliance handling and fees, not from an unusually heavy statutory load.
Produced by the Select Score algorithm and recalculated as provider data and reviews change, so positions can shift over time.

How to choose
Start with cost structure. Employer social security is 12% and employee social security is 0%, but the OECD tax and mandatory contributions wedge is 35% because it includes mandatory private pension and health payments. Ask each provider to itemise what sits inside the monthly figure, and check the table below for the all-in cost at the average wage of $72,018 a year. Also confirm whether the provider employs locally through its own entity or a partner, since that affects who is accountable when something goes wrong.
Next, test how the provider handles the rules that drive risk. Statutory hours are 38 a week, annual leave is 20 days and there are 11 public holidays, so contracts and payroll must reflect all three. Severance is 8.7 weeks and the notice period is 2.7 weeks, which makes termination a cost you should price before hiring, not after. Collective bargaining coverage is 59.7%, so ask how the provider checks whether an award or agreement applies to your role before it issues a contract.
