For sitters
Tax and insurance
You work for yourself, not for us. That means a few things are yours to sort out. This page says what they are. It is not tax or insurance advice.
Tax, ABN and super
Parents pay you directly. We do not ask for an ABN, we do not invoice for you and we do not report your earnings. Tax, ABN and super are yours to sort out.
If you are not sure where to start, the ATO explains how tax works for sole traders and other business structures.
Insurance
No insurance comes with Gold Star Sitters. We do not cover you for your own liability or for injury. If you want cover, arrange your own policy. Some babysitters use a policy such as Nannysure.
Nannysure: babysitter insurance
We name Nannysure as an example only. We have no arrangement with them.
