Why TQN Personnel

Seasonal harvest work around Bundaberg often involves visa holders, and the rules matter. We check every candidate's work entitlement and visa conditions through VEVO, because knowingly or recklessly allowing someone to work without that entitlement is a criminal offence under the Migration Act 1958. The same care goes into permanent hires in health, trades and administration: real references, verified tickets and a 90-day replacement guarantee if a permanent hire does not work out.

Recruitment licensing & compliance

Bundaberg growers and businesses should know the difference between recruitment and labour hire. If we recruit a permanent employee for you, that is a recruitment service and no labour hire licence applies. If we supply seasonal, temp or contract workers who stay on our payroll, that is labour hire. Those providers have needed a Queensland licence since 16 April 2018 under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, and a grower or business may only use a licensed one. We are licensed and quote our licence number on engagement, and the Queensland labour hire licensing site explains how to check a provider.

FAQs

What do job agencies in Bundaberg do for jobseekers?

We match you with local employers and help you prepare for the interview. Be wary of anyone asking for money: Scamwatch lists being asked to pay a recruitment fee or for training materials before you start as a warning sign of a job scam.

Can recruitment agencies in Bundaberg supply seasonal farm workers?

Yes, through labour hire. Seasonal workers we supply are employed by us under our Queensland labour hire licence, and growers must only use licensed providers for this kind of arrangement.

Do you check visa work rights for harvest workers?

Every time. We check each worker's entitlement and visa conditions through VEVO before they start, including the limits that apply to some student and working holiday visas.

How soon can you fill a Bundaberg role?

Most Bundaberg roles get a vetted shortlist within 7 days. Harvest peaks and specialist health roles can take longer if the search starts late, so brief us before the season rather than during it.
