Our workers’ health and safety is always our top priority
We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standards of WHS compliance. We don’t just meet training and safety requirements – we purpose-built our own Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to make worksites safer and more productive. We also provide apprenticeships via our Group Training Organisation (GTO) to help develop the next generation of workers.

We’ve successfully delivered around 50 workers at short notice for complex mine site projects. This includes adherence to detailed mine site induction and safety procedures.
Our training is real-world and is delivered by industry veterans
We’re the industry’s only labour hire provider based in the Hunter Valley region with an RTO on the same premises. Our state-of-the-art training facilities in Newcastle and Sydney feature our purpose-built training simulators, which have been custom-engineered over several years to closely simulate the work environment. Our training can be conducted at our facilities or on site. Either way, it’s always delivered by respected industry experts.
