Yes, it can be done. It's up to the contractor to work everything out for themselves and whether they'll need to lodge a tax return or not. It'll depend on their tax residency (https://community.ato.gov.au/s/article/a07RF00000GjNz8YAF/working-out-your-tax-residency-and-what-it-means-for-you) and whether they're an Australian resident or foreign resident. We've an article all about what working remotely means for your tax return (https://community.ato.gov.au/s/article/a079s000000aripAAA/what-remote-working-means-for-your-tax-return) that they should check out.
