LABOUR HIRE RATES — FAQ
How much does labour hire cost in Sydney?
Labour hire costs in Sydney vary by role, shift and how many workers you need — there's no single rate. New clients start from $42/hr for general labourers on their first hire, and every rate is all-inclusive: super, workers compensation, payroll tax, $20M public liability and GPS timesheets are already built in. Enter your job above for your exact 2026 rate sheet in minutes.
Your labour hire cost per hour depends on the role (general, skilled or trade), the shift (day, night or weekend) and volume. New clients start from $42/hr for general labourers — all-in, with super, insurance, payroll and GPS timesheets included, so the hourly figure is your true total cost with no add-ons. Get your exact per-hour rate above in minutes.
Every LEAP worker is engaged casually, so the rate already includes the 25% casual loading, superannuation, workers compensation and payroll tax in one all-in figure — no extras stacked on later. New clients start from $42/hr for general labourers; skilled, trade and operator roles are quoted by classification and shift. Enter your job above for your exact casual rate.
Because a single online price list would mislead you. Your real rate depends on the role, the shift (day, night or weekend) and how many workers you need — so we send a rate sheet built for your job instead of a generic number. Tell us what you need above and your 2026 Sydney Rate Sheet lands in your inbox in minutes.
LEAP's single bill rate covers everything: base pay, 25% casual loading, superannuation, workers compensation insurance, payroll tax, $20M public liability, GPS timesheets, and a dedicated allocator. No hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
Minimum 4 hours per shift, including weekends and public holidays. No long-term contracts or minimum weekly hours required. Cancel anytime.
We can have workers on your site within hours for urgent requests. For planned bookings, next-day supply is standard. Our AI system matches available workers to your requirements instantly.
Temp staffing — also called labour hire — is when an agency like LEAP employs the workers and supplies them to your site for as long as you need, from a single shift to ongoing. You don't take on payroll, super, workers compensation or admin; we engage every worker casually and bill one all-in hourly rate that already covers those costs. It's the fastest way to scale your crew up or down without permanent headcount.
They overlap, but the key difference is who employs the worker. A labour hire or temp staffing agency like LEAP employs the workers itself and supplies them to you on an hourly rate — you direct the work on site, we handle pay, super, insurance and compliance. A traditional recruitment agency instead finds candidates for you to hire permanently onto your own payroll, usually for a one-off placement fee. LEAP is labour hire / temp staffing: flexible, casual, no placement fees, scale up or down anytime.
Tell us the role, location and shift in the form above and we'll send your exact rate sheet in minutes, then match available workers — often on site the next day, or within hours for urgent jobs. There's no contract and no minimum weekly hours: hire temp staff for a single shift or ongoing, and scale up or down whenever you need.
