Why TQN Personnel
Tasmania's labour market is really several smaller ones. A role in Hobart, Launceston or a regional town each draws on a different pool of people, and a candidate happy in one may not move to another. We recruit with that in mind, and we are honest when a role will need an interstate search. Employers with operations on the mainland get an extra benefit: TQN Personnel holds labour hire licences in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT, so the same team can supply staff to your sites across Bass Strait as well as at home.

Recruitment licensing & compliance
Permanent placements are not labour hire, because the person you hire is your employee. Temps and contractors are employed by TQN Personnel, which pays wages, super and workers compensation. 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). TQN Personnel holds labour hire licences in all four of those jurisdictions for interstate work. In Tasmania we work under the Fair Work Act and the state's model work health and safety laws, in place since 1 January 2013, with workers compensation regulated by WorkSafe Tasmania.
FAQs
Is a labour hire licence required for employment agencies in Tasmania?
Not in Tasmania, which has no scheme of its own. The mainland is different: Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT all license providers, and TQN Personnel is licensed in each, which matters if you also employ staff across Bass Strait.
Do you recruit across the whole of Tasmania?
Yes. We have dedicated recruitment for Hobart and Launceston and run searches for employers in regional towns. For regional roles we look for candidates with ties to the area first, because they tend to stay.
What check do I need to work with children or vulnerable people in Tasmania?
Tasmania uses the Registration to Work with Vulnerable People. Many roles in education, childcare, disability and aged care need it, and we confirm a candidate's registration before they are shortlisted.
How soon will I see Tasmanian candidates?
Our standard is 7 days from a signed-off brief to a vetted shortlist. Specialist roles outside Hobart and Launceston can run longer, and we will warn you early if the search needs to go interstate.
Can you find interstate candidates willing to move to Tasmania?
Yes, when the local market is thin. We test relocation plans carefully, including housing, family and timing, so you are not left with an accepted offer and a candidate who never arrives.
