Dash Group in Brisbane

Reliable labour for Brisbane sites

Brisbane's construction pipeline is one of the busiest in the country. Apartment towers, hospital and education builds, and major transport and Games-related infrastructure are all competing for the same pool of trades. Dash Group's Milton office supplies builders and subcontractors across Brisbane with vetted, site-ready labour, from a single general labourer to full formwork, civil and fit-out crews.

Your Brisbane consultant handles everything from the first call to the final timesheet. They know your site, your standards and your supervisors, so the people we send are the right fit, not just whoever is available. Payroll, super and workers compensation are managed by our in-house team.

Licensed labour hire provider — Queensland

Labour hire providers in Queensland must be licensed under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017 (Qld), and using an unlicensed provider is an offence. Dash Group is a licensed labour hire provider in Queensland. You can check our status on the Queensland labour hire licensing register.

We match workers from our pre-vetted database, usually within 2–4 hours. Need one labourer tomorrow or a full crew for a pour? Make one call.
