Labour Hire Melbourne – Trusted Local Temp Agency for Reliable Workers
Why Melbourne Businesses Choose Us for Labour Hire
We’re not a big city recruiter with call-centre scripts. We’re a local temp agency that knows the flow of real work in Melbourne — how early starts in the CBD hit traffic, how weather affects outdoor jobs, and what it takes to get reliable help onsite by tomorrow morning.
Our team works around the clock to keep your projects moving with flexible, on-demand staff.
Here’s what makes us different:
Fast same-day placement for urgent jobs
All workers are pre-screened, ticketed, and insured
Clear hourly rates with no hidden fees
Local labour from Melbourne suburbs
24/7 contact for replacements or site support
We’re built for builders, landscapers, warehouse managers, and site supervisors who need real people, not promises.
Construction Labour Hire Melbourne
Finding the right crew is everything when you’re running a site. Whether it’s a small renovation in Brunswick or a large-scale build in Docklands, our construction labour hire team connects you with skilled and general labourers ready to go.
We supply:
General labourers
Site clean-up crews
Skilled trades assistants
Demolition and civil labour
Traffic controllers and ticketed workers
Our workers show up on time, follow safety rules, and understand the pace of Melbourne’s construction sites. From Southbank to Epping, we’ve helped dozens of local builders keep projects on schedule by filling last-minute gaps with quality staff.
Need labour hire tomorrow? We can usually have someone onsite within hours.
Landscaping Labour Hire Melbourne
During spring and summer, Melbourne’s landscaping industry goes into overdrive. Garden maintenance contracts, new developments, and commercial grounds all need extra hands. That’s where our landscaping labour hire services come in.
We help:
Landscape contractors
Maintenance crews
Turf and irrigation teams
Garden clean-up and planting crews
Our team understands seasonal work — whether you’re doing turf installs in Brighton, hedge trimming in Camberwell, or large planting projects in Werribee, we can supply fit, reliable outdoor labourers who know their way around tools and gardens.
Most of our landscape clients call us every season — because we send the same trusted workers back each year.
Warehouse Labour Hire Melbourne
When your warehouse hits peak demand, you don’t have time to train new staff every week. Our warehouse labour hire division supplies experienced workers who already know how to handle busy logistics operations.
We provide:
Pick-packers and forklift drivers
Container unloaders
Order fulfilment staff
Inventory and dispatch assistants
Our people have worked in Port Melbourne, Tullamarine, and Laverton North warehouses for years — they understand safety, speed, and accuracy.
From short-term casuals to ongoing shift coverage, we’ll help you keep the line moving and the orders flowing.
