A quick introduction to who we help and how to get started.
Centre Labour Hire connects Australian businesses with workforce support across construction, manufacturing and production, warehousing, and logistics and events. We discuss the roles, location, shift requirements and timeframe before assessing suitable staffing options.
Our four core service areas are Construction, Manufacturing & Production, Warehousing, and Logistics & Event Crew. Each has different operational needs, so we tailor recruitment discussions to the tasks, skills and working conditions involved.
We welcome enquiries from builders, contractors, factories, production facilities, distribution centres, warehouses, logistics operators, event organisers and other businesses needing workforce support. Contact us with your requirements so we can confirm whether we can assist.
Visit our Request Workers page and provide the worksite location, required roles, number of workers, start date and expected duration. You can also call 1300 029 542 or email [email protected].
No. An online enquiry starts the process; it does not automatically reserve workers or confirm placement. Our team will follow up to discuss availability, suitability, rates, arrangements and any required approvals before a booking is confirmed.
What happens when you need workers — from your first enquiry to a potential placement.
Timeframes vary depending on the role, number of workers, location, required tickets or licences and current availability. We prioritise clear communication and encourage urgent enquiries by phone so the team can assess practical options.
We can assess requests with a 24–48-hour start target, but placements within that timeframe are subject to worker availability, screening, role requirements and location. Please treat this as a requested timeframe, not a confirmed guarantee, until our team has verified the details.
As much notice as possible is helpful, especially for large teams, specialist roles, remote locations or non-standard shifts. However, you can still contact us about short-notice requirements and we will discuss available options.
Short assignments can be considered alongside multi-day, project-based and ongoing arrangements. Whether a particular booking is possible depends on the job, site conditions, location, minimum terms and available workers.
Yes. Outline the number of people required, each role or skill level, shift pattern and preferred start date. Clear details help us assess whether a suitable mix of workers may be available.
Let us know about any changes to staffing levels, shifts, work duties or duration as early as possible. We can review the updated requirements and discuss whether the arrangement can be adjusted, subject to availability and agreed terms.
Contact our team promptly and explain the issue. We will review the situation, including the original role requirements and any performance or site concerns, and discuss practical next steps; replacement availability cannot be guaranteed.
We begin with your role brief, essential tasks, location, expected duration, experience expectations and any required qualifications or site access conditions. This information guides the assessment of worker suitability and available options.
Explore the kind of workforce support you can enquire about across our core services.
You can enquire about general labourers, trade support, civil construction assistance, site logistics, materials handling and site cleaning. Share the precise duties and any tickets, licences or experience needed so we can assess suitable options.
Yes, our Manufacturing & Production service focuses on workforce requirements for production environments. Enquiries may include line support, packing, general production duties and other site-specific roles, depending on available personnel and training requirements.
You can request support for picking, packing, order fulfilment, stock handling, dispatch and general warehouse operations. Provide any equipment, shift or experience requirements when you submit your enquiry.
This service covers enquiries for logistics assistance, freight handling, event setup, pack-down and event operations support. Tell us about access times, venue rules, shift schedules and physical or technical requirements.
Tell us exactly which licence, certification, ticket or competency is necessary for the role. We will assess suitable options and discuss how relevant credentials should be verified before work commences; specialist availability varies.
Send us a brief description of the work, location and required skills. Our team can advise whether the request falls within our capabilities or whether a different type of specialist provider may be more suitable.
Practical questions about worker readiness and safe workplaces.
Workforce suitability starts with the role brief and the qualifications, experience and work conditions required. Specific screening and verification arrangements should be confirmed with our recruitment team for the role and worksite.
Where a role requires a particular ticket, licence or competency, include it in your request. Before work begins, the relevant authorisations and any site-specific verification requirements should be checked and agreed.
Site-specific inductions, safe work procedures, supervision and site access requirements should be clarified before placement. We encourage businesses to communicate their site rules and risks clearly; the applicable safety duties remain with the relevant parties under Australian law.
Please describe the tasks, hazards, working environment, equipment and required competencies in full. This helps determine suitability and any additional controls or restrictions; not every role can be filled on every requested timeframe.
Take any immediate action necessary to keep people safe, follow your workplace incident procedures and notify the relevant contacts promptly. Legal notification and reporting duties depend on the circumstances and jurisdiction; do not delay urgent assistance where needed.
