About Us – Local Labour Hire Melbourne
Running a crew in Melbourne can be tough. Weather delays, staff shortages, and last-minute call-outs always seem to land at once.
That’s why our business started — to make labour hire in Melbourne simple, fast, and reliable.
We’re a local temp agency built by people who’ve actually worked on job sites, not just behind desks. Our team connects Melbourne companies with dependable workers who show up, work hard, and stay safe.
From warehouses in Dandenong to landscaping jobs in Richmond and construction sites in Sunshine, we help businesses find the people they need — without the stress of hiring.
Meet Leg Up Labouring – Melbourne’s Trusted Labour Hire Team
At Leg Up Labouring, we keep Melbourne’s job sites moving. Founded by Oli and Jack, two mates who started out on the tools themselves, our mission is simple — to make finding good, reliable labour easy for builders, landscapers, and warehouse managers across Melbourne.
We supply ticketed, experienced general labourers for construction, landscaping, and warehouse work, helping local businesses fill gaps fast. Whether it’s a crew for a commercial build in Richmond, general labourers for a Toorak home project, or warehouse hands in South Yarra, we connect the right workers to the right sites.
Oli and Jack built Leg Up Labouring around what matters most on site — dependability, hard work, and respect. Every labourer we send out shows up ready, stays on task, and helps get the job done safely and efficiently.
We’ve built long-term relationships with builders, site managers, and contractors who trust us to deliver. Our approach is personal — no corporate nonsense, just straight-talking service and quality labour.
If you’re looking for a Melbourne labour hire company that actually cares about reliability and results, Leg Up Labouring is your team.
Our Story – Built by Workers, for Workers
Our story started on site.
We saw the same problem over and over again — good companies struggling to find reliable labour, and good workers struggling to get steady shifts.
We decided to fix both sides.
The goal was simple: create a Melbourne labour hire service that keeps it real — honest rates, local people, and consistent work.
Since those early days, we’ve grown from a small phone list to a full team placing dozens of workers across the city every week. But we still keep things personal — every client talks to a real person who knows their job sites.
What We Do
We specialise in temporary labour hire across Melbourne, supplying general outdoor and indoor labourers for:
Construction labour hire – clean-ups, material handling, trade assist.
Landscaping labour hire – planting, mulching, turfing, garden maintenance.
Warehouse labour hire – pick-packers, container unloaders, dispatch staff.
General labour hire – short-term site support wherever extra hands are needed.
Every worker is ticketed, insured, and ready to go.
Our clients range from local builders to national logistics companies — anyone who needs reliable people, fast.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
Keep Melbourne’s job sites running smoothly by sending dependable, local workers every time.
We believe labour hire should take stress off you, not add more paperwork.
So we handle everything — from payroll and super to insurance and compliance — so you can focus on getting the job done.

Our Values
Reliability comes first.
If we promise labour, we deliver it. No excuses.
Local matters.
We prioritise Melbourne workers for Melbourne jobs — it keeps the community strong and travel times short.
Safety always.
Every worker we send is briefed on site rules and PPE requirements.
Straight talk.
No corporate jargon, just clear updates and honest rates.
These values guide everything from how we hire to how we talk to clients.
How We Hire and Train Our Labourers
We handpick our labourers through referrals and local networks — not online forms that no one checks.
Each worker goes through a quick screening for attitude, experience, and transport reliability. If they can’t get to a 7 am start in Dandenong or Richmond on time, they don’t make the list.
Before their first shift, we cover:
Basic manual-handling and PPE training.
Work site etiquette and safety culture.
Reporting lines and communication expectations.
That’s why our workers get invited back again and again — they’re ready from day one.
Community and Local Support
We’re proud to hire locals and support Melbourne families.
Many of our workers live near the sites they work on, keeping travel short and local money in local pockets.
We also partner with training organisations and community employment centres to give new workers their start in labour hire.
For some, this job is their first step into Australia’s workforce — and we’re proud to be that bridge.
