Why TQN Personnel
Hiring in Launceston often comes down to a small pool of genuinely suitable people, many of whom are not looking. Ads alone rarely reach them. We approach candidates directly, explain the role properly and check that a move makes sense for them, which is what keeps placements in place. Health care, retail and education are among Launceston's largest employing sectors, and those employers in particular need staff whose registrations and screening are already in order, so we check those before an interview is booked. If you need help sooner, our Launceston labour hire team can supply temps while we recruit.

Permanent recruitment involves no labour hire licence: the candidate goes onto your payroll from the start. When we supply temps or contractors, TQN Personnel is their employer and carries pay, super and workers compensation for the assignment. Tasmania has no labour hire licensing scheme; state licensing applies only in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT (NSW Government update on labour hire regulation). Our Launceston placements follow the Fair Work Act and Tasmania's work health and safety laws, and any workers compensation claim in Tasmania should be made within 6 months of the injury.
FAQs
Are there employment agencies in Launceston for temp work?
Yes. Alongside permanent recruitment, we place temps and contractors with Launceston employers for leave cover, busy periods and projects. Temps are employed by us, so the employer receives one invoice and no payroll work.
I am looking for work. What does a job agency in Launceston need from me?
Just your CV, sent through our contact page with the kind of work you want, your availability and where in northern Tasmania you can travel to. We interview candidates before putting anyone forward, and we never charge job seekers.
What does an employment agency in Launceston charge employers?
For permanent hires, a one-off fee calculated on the first-year salary and payable only after your new employee starts. For temps, an hourly charge quoted upfront that covers wages, super, insurance and our service.
Do you recruit for health and aged care in Launceston?
We do, for nurses, care workers and support staff. Aged care employers must confirm worker screening under the Aged Care Act 2024, so we check each candidate's clearance or police certificate, along with AHPRA registration for nurses, before shortlisting.
Do job agencies in Launceston need a labour hire licence?
No. Tasmania has no labour hire licensing scheme. If your business also operates in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia or the ACT, any provider supplying workers there must be licensed in that jurisdiction.
