Why TQN Personnel
On a regional job, a no-show is hard to cover. We keep that risk low by choosing workers who live within reach of the site, confirming their tickets before booking and briefing them on the job. TQN Personnel is the employer, so we handle pay, super and workers compensation, and SafeWork NSW expects us to check that a placement is safe before anyone starts, which we do. If a worker is not a fit, a replacement is on its way the same day.

Local projects driving labour hire demand in Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie's road network and its planned employment precincts are the main sources of new site work. These are the three projects we watch most closely for labour demand.
Oxley Highway Upgrade
The interchange stage between the Pacific and Oxley highways is under construction, part of a staged 9 km upgrade towards Hastings River Drive.
source ↗Health and Education Precinct
Council-led planning to co-locate health, education, research and industry on the Innes Peninsula, around the hospital and university campus.
source ↗Port Macquarie Airport Business Park
Planning to cluster freight-related and complementary businesses on employment land around the airport.
source ↗Labour hire licensing & compliance in NSW
NSW has no labour hire licensing scheme, and the NSW Government says it is still considering how to regulate providers. That does not mean anything goes. As the employer, TQN Personnel provides workers compensation cover, pays under the Fair Work Act and works with you under NSW WHS law. SafeWork NSW expects a labour hire agency to assess a placement before the worker starts and to agree hazards and controls with the host, and we do both. Under federal Same Job, Same Pay rules, a labour hire worker can also ask the Fair Work Commission to be paid the host's rate.
FAQs
How quickly can you supply labour hire in Port Macquarie?
Our standard is a crew on site within 24 hours of you confirming the booking. Traffic control and plant roles need card and competency checks, so give us as much notice as you can for those.
Do your workers hold traffic control cards?
Our traffic controllers hold a current SafeWork NSW Traffic Control Work Training card, either Traffic Controller (TCR) or Implement Traffic Control Plans (IMP), and we check the card type matches your traffic management plan.
Who pays the labour hire worker?
We do. TQN Personnel employs every worker we supply, pays wages and super and holds workers compensation cover. You get one invoice for the hours worked.
Can you send workers to Wauchope or Lake Cathie?
Yes, across Port Macquarie-Hastings, as long as workers can reach the site safely. Tell us the exact location when you book.
Is a labour hire licence needed in Port Macquarie?
No. Licensing schemes exist in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, but not NSW. We still meet Fair Work, WHS and workers compensation obligations for every worker.
