More Information
Here are some commonly asked questions about our employment terms. You can follow the links to obtain further information.
How do I apply for an Australian Business Number (ABN)?
What is the difference between an 'independent contractor' and a paid employee?
Do I need to register a business name as well?
Whether or not tutors need to register a separate business name will depend on how they establish themselves and trade.
Generally in Australia you need to register a business name in your State or Territory if you intend to trade under a name that isn't your natural or corporate name.
Lifetime Learners would generally prefer that our tutors trade under their natural name.
