Labour hire charge rates for labourers in Sydney fall inside a $45 to $75 per hour band, with general labouring toward the lower end and skilled labourers toward the upper end. That is the all-in figure a business pays an agency, not the worker take-home pay, and it covers super, workers compensation, payroll tax and insurance. Your exact rate sheet is emailed on request.

Labour hire is where an agency employs workers and supplies them to a host business, which directs the day to day work on site. The agency stays the employer and handles pay, super, workers compensation and payroll tax. In NSW, providers supplying workers into certain regulated sectors must hold a licence under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017, and the host business still carries work health and safety duties for anyone on its site.

It depends on how steady your work is. Per hour, labour hire looks dearer than a direct hire, because the rate already carries super, workers compensation, payroll tax, insurance, recruitment and payroll admin. It pays off when demand moves week to week, when you need people on site in days rather than weeks, or when you want to trial someone before hiring them. For a full time role you will keep busy all year, direct hiring is usually cheaper.

LEAP's single bill rate covers everything: base pay, 25% casual loading, superannuation, workers compensation insurance, payroll tax, $10M public liability, GPS timesheets, and a dedicated allocator. No hidden fees or surprise add-ons.

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.
