CHILD SUPPORT (REGISTRATION AND COLLECTION) ACT 1988 - SECT 65AA

                   This Part applies to a person (the independent contractor ) engaged under a contract for services as if:

                     (a)  a reference to an employee includes a reference to the independent contractor; and

                     (b)  a reference to an employer of the employee includes a reference to the person who engages the independent contractor; and

                     (c)  a reference to refusing to employ a person includes a reference to refusing to engage a person under a contract for services; and

                     (d)  if a person is an employer and also engages an independent contractor--the reference in section 65 to an employer includes the person in both of those capacities.
