What information does a hirer have to provide to a “new” sub-contractor?
The hirer should provide a copy of the WA Owner-Driver Information Book and a current copy of the relevant Guideline Rates. They should also give the sub-contractor time to read and understand the information before negotiations start. If the sub-contractor already has the book and Guideline Rates, the hirer does not have to provide another copy. Note: This requirement will not come into effect until the Code of Conduct and Guideline Rates are in place. The WA Owner-Driver Information Book has not yet been released. Please note that it is not the same as the information booklet currently available.
