For hospitality employers with regular hiring needs, AusLabourBank offers a structured onboarding process and ongoing candidate sourcing, with one-off placements also available.

We supported each employer from role scoping and candidate screening through to interviews and start dates. All three have told us they are satisfied with the people placed and plan to keep working with us. The dumpling chain and the Sichuan restaurant have also asked us to help staff their new locations.

The External HR Starter is A$750 per quarter + GST, for one venue with up to 30 staff. It is mostly self-service: a curated HR toolkit from hiring to exit with guidance in English and Chinese, links to current Fair Work templates and pay guides, alerts when key workplace rules change, a quarterly HR administration self-check that we review and return with a one-page action list, and up to three written questions and one template adaptation each quarter. We give an initial reply within two business days. Calls, site visits, custom documents and extra questions are A$190 per hour + GST, agreed in writing first. Recruitment is not included: candidate sourcing, screening and referral are a separate service charged per successful placement.
It does not include legal advice, Award classification decisions, payroll calculation or industrial relations advice; those matters are referred to a qualified professional. Billed quarterly in advance and renews each quarter; cancel with 30 days' written notice before the next quarter. Full terms are set out in your written service agreement.
Placement fees are quoted by role and charged only upon a successful placement. You can use recruitment on its own or alongside the External HR Starter.

We focus on hospitality roles for Victorian employers, including kitchen hands, cooks and chefs, and front-of-house staff and managers. Whether we can help depends on the role requirements, location and candidate availability.
No. We screen candidates against your requirements and refer those we consider suitable, but we do not guarantee that a role will be filled, that a candidate will accept an offer, or that a candidate will pass probation. The hiring decision is always yours.
We collect the work-rights information candidates provide and pass it on with their details. Confirming a candidate's right to work, for example through VEVO, remains the employer's responsibility.
No. AusLabourBank is not a registered migration agency and does not provide immigration assistance. Our services do not include, and do not guarantee, employer sponsorship, nomination or any visa outcome.
