Labour hire

More hands for the big job, without hiring anyone.

An office move, fifty new laptops or a new site to fit out, and your IT person is already flat out. Hiring for a few weeks of work is slow and risky. We send experienced engineers for as long as the job takes, and stand behind the work.

Questions

What people ask before they call.

What kind of work can you help with?

Office moves, laptop and phone rollouts, network and Wi-Fi installs, cabling, Microsoft 365 migrations and extra help desk cover when your own team is short. If it is IT work with a clear start and finish, ask us.

Who actually turns up?

Our own engineers. We do not run a contractor pool. The people we send look after our managed IT clients every week, so they know how a job should be done and documented.

Do we need to be a managed IT client?

No. Many businesses use us for a single project. If you have your own IT person or another provider, we work alongside them.

Can you send someone at short notice?

Often, yes, depending on the job and location. Call us and we will tell you straight away whether we can cover it.

How is it charged?

Short jobs are charged by the hour, longer projects are quoted up front. You see the cost before anyone starts, and pay, insurance and super are ours to handle.

Who looks after safety on site?

Both of us. Under work health and safety law, the business supplying the worker and the business hosting them each have duties, and they have to consult and work together. Before anyone starts we agree the site induction, access, hours and any hazards, and our engineers follow your site rules.

Are you a licensed labour hire provider in Queensland?

Yes. All labour hire providers supplying workers in Queensland must be licensed, and businesses must only engage licensed providers, with strong penalties for using one that is not. Real Bytes Pty Ltd holds licence LHL-06828-J3N3R, which you can check on the Queensland Government's public register of labour hire licences.
