Each temp is interviewed and reference checked, and their right to work is confirmed through VEVO before day one. For larger or ongoing crews, our casual labour hire service can help too.

Why TQN Personnel
Many Sunshine Coast businesses run small teams where one absence is felt straight away. We match temps to the team as well as the task: someone who can run a reception desk and handle the phones, or a warehouse temp who already holds a forklift licence. We handle pay, super and workers compensation as the employer, and if a temp is not the right fit, tell us and we will send a replacement.

Temp hiring demand across the Sunshine Coast
Retail and accommodation and food services both rank among the Sunshine Coast's largest employing sectors, so seasonal swings drive much of the coast's temp demand. Industrial areas such as Kunda Park and Yandina add warehouse and production work, and road projects at Caloundra and Mountain Creek will need labourers and traffic staff as they progress.
Caloundra Transport Corridor Upgrade
Road upgrade between Nicklin Way and Third Avenue in Caloundra, with Sunshine Coast Council tendering for construction.

Transport and Main Roads project at Mountain Creek where early works, including site preparation and service relocations, are under way.
source ↗Recruitment licensing & compliance
Every temp assignment in Queensland is a labour hire arrangement, and Queensland's labour hire licensing law, the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, has applied to it since 16 April 2018. Businesses on the Sunshine Coast must only use licensed providers, so ask for the licence number before a temp starts. Ours is supplied on engagement, and you can confirm it through the Queensland labour hire licensing site. If you later hire a temp permanently, that placement is recruitment rather than labour hire.
FAQs
What does a temp agency on the Sunshine Coast charge?
You pay an hourly rate for the hours worked. It covers the temp's wages, super, workers compensation and our margin, and we confirm it in writing before the assignment starts.
Are your temps casual employees?
Most are engaged as casuals. Casual loading is 25% under most awards, and as their employer we give every new casual the Casual Employment Information Statement.
Can I keep a temp on permanently?
Yes. If a temp suits your team, tell us and we will arrange the move to your payroll on the terms agreed when the booking was made.
Do you supply aged care temps on the Sunshine Coast?
Yes, for support and care roles. Each worker's police certificate or NDIS Worker Screening Clearance is checked before they are booked, because aged care screening rules cover labour hire workers as well as direct employees.
