Why TQN Personnel
When you use a temp, you are also handing over the employment obligations, and those have grown. As the employer, we pay award rates including casual loading, pay super at 12% under the payday super rules that began on 1 July 2026, give casuals the Casual Employment Information Statement at the right times and manage casual conversion requests. We also keep an eye on Same Job, Same Pay, which lets labour hire workers seek the host's rate for the same work. You get a reliable person at your front desk or in your warehouse, and one invoice instead of a payroll headache.

Temps are employed by TQN Personnel for the length of the assignment, which makes it a labour hire arrangement; permanent and temp-to-perm hires move onto your own payroll. 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). For employers with staff interstate, TQN Personnel also holds labour hire licences in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT. In Perth we supply temps under the Fair Work Act and the WA Work Health and Safety Act 2020, with our own workers compensation cover.
FAQs
How much does a temp agency in Perth charge?
You pay an hourly charge rate for each hour worked. It covers the temp's pay at or above the award, including casual loading, plus super, workers compensation and our margin. As a floor, casuals on the national minimum wage get at least $33.05 an hour from 1 July 2026, including the 25% casual loading.
Can a Perth temp become a permanent employee?
Yes, and it is often the best way to hire. Tell us when you want to make an offer; any conversion terms are set out in our agreement before the temp starts, so there are no surprises.
Do temp agencies in Perth handle casual conversion?
We do for temps we employ. Under the employee choice pathway, an eligible casual can notify the employer in writing that they want to convert after 6 months of employment, or 12 months with a small business employer. We respond to those requests and keep you informed.
Can international students work as temps in Perth?
Often yes, within their visa conditions. We check each candidate in VEVO, including any student work-hour limits, and roster them so they stay within those limits.
How quickly can a temp start in Perth?
For general labour and warehouse cover, our labour hire team can have workers on site within 24 hours. For skilled office, finance or long-term assignments, we provide a vetted shortlist within 7 days so you can choose.
