You’ve done the hard yards on-site, probably under a labour hire agency — and now your effort’s paid off: you’ve been picked up full-time by the company itself.
“Will switching from labour hire to full-time help or hurt my car finance chances?”
✅ It usually helps — but only if the lender knows your employment history.
🔍 Why This Shift Matters
Labour hire workers are often:
- Considered casual or temporary
- Hired for seasonal or short-term work
- Paid irregularly or by different agencies
Once you move into a direct PAYG role, your situation becomes easier for lenders to assess.
🔧 Which Finance Profile Fits Your Transition?
Depending on how your job was structured before and after the move, your situation may align with:
- 🛠️ Casual to Full-Time – upgraded from unstable to permanent
- 📈 ABN to PAYG – previously invoicing under your own ABN
- 🔁 PAYG to PAYG – now on payroll under a new ABN/employer
All job-change options are explored on our car finance for recently changed jobs hub.
📄 What to Show Lenders
✅ Your new full-time employment contract
✅ First payslip from the employer (not the agency)
✅ Bank statements showing ongoing income
✅ Optional: Payslip or letter from labour hire agency to confirm continuity
✅ Optional: Confirmation the role hasn’t changed — just who pays you
This helps lenders see that you’ve upgraded to something more stable — not started from scratch.
⚠️ Don’t Let “New Job” Labels Confuse the Lender
If they don’t understand your shift from agency to payroll, some lenders might assume you’ve just started working. That’s why proper documentation matters.
✅ Use our fast eligibility tool to connect with lenders who assess real employment context.
