Why TQN Personnel
With labour hire, the details decide whether a day goes well: the right ticket, the right boots, someone who turns up on time at the East Rockingham gate. We employ, pay and insure every worker we send, so you are not chasing timesheets, super or workers compensation. Safe Work Australia's labour hire guidance says the labour hire business and the host both owe a primary duty of care and must consult, cooperate and coordinate, so we talk through hazards and supervision with you before anyone starts, and we keep in touch during the booking rather than disappearing after the first invoice.

source ↗Labour hire licensing & compliance in WA
Western Australia 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). No licence does not mean no rules. Safe Work Australia's guidance says the labour hire business, not the host, is responsible for workers compensation for labour hire workers, and both parties should coordinate return-to-work arrangements. Federal Same Job, Same Pay rules also apply: since 1 November 2024, labour hire workers or their union can ask the Fair Work Commission for an order to be paid at least the host's rate for the same work (Fair Work Ombudsman). We work to the WA Work Health and Safety Act 2020 on every booking.
FAQs
How fast can I get labour hire in Rockingham?
For most general labour, trade assistant and forklift bookings, workers are on site within 24 hours of a confirmed order. Tell us the tickets and PPE needed when you call, because that is what most often slows a start.
Who pays workers compensation for labour hire workers in Rockingham?
We do. Safe Work Australia's guidance puts workers compensation for labour hire workers on the labour hire business, not the host, and we hold cover for every worker we place. You remain responsible for a safe workplace, a site induction and supervision.
Does a labour hire company in Rockingham need a licence?
No. WA has never introduced labour hire licensing; the schemes run only in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT. Before booking any provider, ask to see its insurance certificates.
Do Same Job, Same Pay rules affect my labour hire workers?
Possibly. Under federal changes in force from 1 November 2024, a labour hire worker or their union can seek a Fair Work Commission order setting their pay at no less than your enterprise agreement rate. No order can be made if your business is a small business employer, and we will tell you if one is sought.
What tickets do your Rockingham labourers hold?
Every construction labourer holds a White Card. Forklift operators hold a WorkSafe WA LF licence, traffic controllers hold accreditation recognised by Main Roads WA, and we can add Working at Heights or First Aid holders to a crew on request.
