Dash Group in Melbourne
Reliable labour for Melbourne sites
Dash Group has supplied labour to Melbourne building sites since 2018. Our team works from St Kilda Road and places labourers, trades and ticketed operators with builders, head contractors and subcontractors across Greater Melbourne. We supply one labourer for a day or a full crew for a whole project.
We are a construction business first. Our consultants understand programmes, inductions and what a site supervisor needs at 6:30am. Every worker is vetted, inducted to our WHS standards and has their tickets checked before they arrive. Our in-house payroll team handles wages, super and workers compensation, so you get one weekly invoice and no admin.
Licensed labour hire provider — Victoria
Labour hire providers in Victoria must hold a licence under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic), and hosts can be penalised for using an unlicensed provider. Dash Group is a licensed provider with the Victorian Labour Hire Authority. You can check our status on the Authority's public register.
