There’s nothing fancy about what we do — we just make sure you get dependable, hard-working people who show up when you need them.

South Yarra Construction Labour Hire Project
Leg Up Labouring recently supported a residential build in South Yarra, supplying reliable construction labourers to assist through the concrete and site-prep phase. The site required experienced, safety-focused workers who could adapt quickly to changing conditions and tight access — exactly what our Melbourne team delivers daily.
Our crew handled formwork setup, concrete mixing, wheelbarrow runs, and site clean-up, helping the builder stay on schedule while maintaining a clean, compliant worksite. Every worker arrived ticketed, insured, and ready to work, equipped with the right PPE and a strong understanding of construction safety.
Being Melbourne-based, we know how inner-city sites like South Yarra and nearby Richmond, Cremorne, and Toorak operate — limited parking, narrow laneways, and strict noise rules. We coordinate arrival times and communication carefully so our labourers integrate seamlessly with site teams.
This South Yarra project shows what Leg Up Labouring does best: providing dependable, flexible construction labour hire that helps builders, developers, and site managers keep projects moving.
Whether you need labourers for concrete prep, general site assistance, or end-of-project clean-ups, we supply trusted workers across Greater Melbourne — ready when you need them most.
Cremorne Construction Labour Hire Project
Leg Up Labouring recently provided construction labour hire for a commercial renovation project in Cremorne, assisting with the site clean-up and waste removal phase. The job required organised, safety-conscious labourers who could efficiently manage debris, timber, and plasterboard disposal within a confined work zone — a challenge our Melbourne crew handles daily.
Our team took responsibility for rubbish sorting, bin loading, and site clearing, keeping the workspace clean and compliant while trades continued internal fit-outs. Every worker arrived ticketed, insured, and ready to work, equipped with the right PPE and a solid understanding of construction site safety and waste management procedures.
Cremorne’s commercial areas — between Church Street and Swan Street — are known for their tight laneways, limited access, and early noise restrictions. As a Melbourne-based labour hire company, we plan our logistics carefully, coordinating arrival times and waste collection to minimise downtime and disruption.
This Cremorne project reflects what Leg Up Labouring is all about: providing reliable, hard-working labourers who integrate seamlessly into busy construction sites and help builders, developers, and site managers maintain progress and cleanliness through every phase of a job.
Whether you need short-term labourers for demolition support, site prep, waste removal, or general construction help, our team supplies trusted workers across Greater Melbourne, including Richmond, South Yarra, and Toorak — ready to get the job done efficiently and safely.

Real Local Knowledge
We’re not just another national labour hire chain — we’re local to Melbourne.
We know how the city works: the early traffic through Burnley Tunnel, how wet mornings affect concrete pours, and how windy sites near Port Melbourne can slow down work.
That local understanding is why we plan placements carefully — to make sure workers actually get there on time and ready to go.
Our team checks in daily with clients and workers to keep things running smoothly. When you call, you’ll speak to someone who knows the local sites, not a random operator reading from a list.
