Remote and regional councils are a specialist focus. Our founding team has lived and worked in communities including Doomadgee, Mornington Island, Cherbourg, Julia Creek, and Cloncurry. We understand the workforce challenges unique to remote councils.
90-Day Replacement Guarantee — If a placed candidate doesn't work out within 90 days of starting, we replace them at no additional cost. If a suitable replacement cannot be sourced, the placement fee is refunded — your council does not pay. No questions, no fees.
NPAworldwide: Through our NPAworldwide membership — a global network of 400+ recruitment firms across 6 continents — we can source permanent candidates internationally where local markets cannot fill the role.
