Licence snapshot
The official Queensland search capture identifies ANZPEOPTYLTD,ABN40627296815 and licenceLHL-03871-H3B5B as at23August2026. It supports that dated status, not a fresh17September live register check.

Read scope, source age and unresolved material concerns retained; customer reports and third-party indexes are not established legal/operational findings.
Country fit
Primary Australian and New Zealand EOR pages confirm legal employment without a client entity; client retains daily management. About page dates Australia PEO foundation to 2018 by Fran Davies and describes NZ expansion. Australian onboarding diagram targets day 3 after agreements and documents; FAQ says days to a week, with visa dependencies. OHLA and NZ AEWV eligibility are provider claims, not guarantees for every role.

Costs, deposits & currency
Cost cash
No numeric EOR tariff, deposit calculation, FX spread or operative funding schedule found on primary pages. Australian FAQ explicitly says client funds employment costs while ANZPEO pays workers. Employsome lists $563 and setup/monthly/deposit/FX claims; these remain unverified commercial leads, not a primary quote.

Employee data & security
Security
Privacy notice still uses Australia PEO group naming and accountancy/payroll contractor wording. It allows third-party/group sharing and overseas hosting including US; mentions SCCs and Privacy Shield, with no named processor list, security audit or contractual breach deadline. This wording and generic retention require a current employee DPA; no finding of an actual breach.
