Low Margins
Highly Competitive Margins
We know that contractors don’t want to be paying expensive agency fees so we have put a strong emphasis on keeping our costs down. We operate from a suburban office in Canberra and we don’t spend money on excessive advertising. Keeping our fees low creates a win-win situation for our contractors and government clients alike. We will match any competitor’s advertised or written price and conditions for the same role.

Cost effective payroll management
Unlike some of our competitors – we tell you upfront that payroll management is a separate component that you need to consider. Please be assured that it is our goal to provide you with the most cost-effective solution to meet your needs and we would be more than happy to discuss your situation with you and provide a tailored written quotation. Contractors can also have their choice of payment frequency: fortnightly or monthly (at no extra cost).
Super-fast flexible payment processing
Our payment processing is highly efficient and best of all there are no fixed deadlines. Our dedicated Finance Team process payments every single working day of the week.
Timesheets (and invoices where relevant) received before 12 pm will be processed that day by overnight EFT. Those after 12pm will go in the following day’s run.
We also genuinely care for our contractors and will go out of our way to accommodate any special requests you may have.
