Specialised Labour Hire — VIC · NSW · QLD
Propelling Australia's premier construction projects forward with reliable and adaptable workforce solutions — designed to support industry leaders in the pursuit of excellence.
What We Offer
Four core services — each delivered by our in-house team with no third-party middlemen. Whether you need workers tomorrow or a permanent hire next month, we handle it end-to-end.
Flexible, on-demand supply of skilled and unskilled workers. Mobilise a single tradie or an entire crew — we match the right person to your project, fast. All workers are vetted, inducted and covered under our labour hire licence.
End-to-end permanent placement for trades and construction roles. We handle job advertising, candidate sourcing, multi-stage screening, reference checks and offer management — so you hire the right person the first time.
Our dedicated in-house payroll team processes timesheets, wages, superannuation, tax and STP reporting for contractors and businesses. Accurate award interpretation, zero middlemen, single point of contact.
On-site and in-house qualitative fit testing for respiratory protective equipment (RPE). Ensure your workforce meets safety compliance obligations — PCBU-approved and conducted by trained assessors.
Industries We Recruit For
We recruit across seven specialist industry divisions. Each division is backed by consultants with deep sector knowledge — so we understand the roles, the licences, and what good looks like.
Site labour for builders and head contractors — site cleans, manual handling, soft demolition works, landscape labouring and much more. Reliable, inducted workers ready to mobilise at short notice for any size project.
Licence-verified operators for builders and subcontractors: forklift drivers, manitou operators, hoist operators, EWP operators, dogman, scaffolders and first aiders. All tickets confirmed before placement.
Qualified carpenters for residential and commercial works — formwork, framing, fixing, fit-out and finishing. Supplied as individual trades or full carpentry crews to suit your project programme.
Skilled shopfitters, joiners and cabinet makers for retail, hospitality and commercial fit-outs. We supply full crews or individual trades to suit your programme and timeline.
Plant operators, civil labourers, drainage crews and groundworkers for road, rail, utilities and large-scale infrastructure projects. All safety tickets verified.
Licensed A-grade and apprentice electricians for industrial, commercial and residential projects. All licences, insurances and compliance documentation verified before placement.
Auto mechanics and diesel mechanics for car dealerships, fleet operators and mechanical service centres across VIC, NSW and QLD. All trade qualifications verified before placement.
Grounds maintenance, soft landscaping and horticulture crews for commercial, residential and council contracts. Experienced in both ongoing maintenance and project-based work.

Who We Are
Established in 2018, Dash Group is a specialised labour hire company supplying skilled, reliable personnel to Australia's leading construction firms. With operations across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, we connect the right people to the right projects — every time.
Our dedicated operational team works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure seamless delivery and consistent quality across every division. We're not just a supplier — we're a long-term workforce partner built on trust, accountability and results.
Unlike agencies that outsource to third-party platforms, Dash Group operates its own dedicated in-house accounts and payroll team. That means faster issue resolution, accurate award interpretation and a single point of contact for every payroll query — no delays, no middlemen, no passed-on costs.
Our Story
Launched in 2018, Dash Group was built by people who understand construction — not just recruitment. We know what a project manager needs when a crew doesn't show, what a foreman needs at 6am, and what a developer needs when handover is in two weeks.
We supply skilled, vetted labour at every stage of the build programme — our consultants understand construction sequencing, trade dependencies and programme pressure. We don't just fill roles — we keep your project moving.

Our Model
At Dash Group, our consultants operate as true 360 Specialists — they own the relationship from first call to final placement and beyond. No handoffs. No dropped balls. One expert who knows your business inside out.
While most agencies split the job between a BDM, an account manager and a resourcer — creating gaps, delays and miscommunication — our 360 model keeps everything with one person who is fully accountable for your outcome.
Your 360 consultant takes the time to understand your site, your standards and your culture — so every worker they send is the right fit, not just available.
No being passed between departments. No repeating yourself. Your consultant handles everything — from the brief to the booking to the follow-up — in a single conversation.
Because your consultant owns both client and candidate relationships, they move faster and make better matches. Less back-and-forth, more workers on site — when you need them.
Our Standard
We don't just fill shifts. Every placement is backed by proper preparation, clear communication and a genuine commitment to keeping your site safe, compliant and running on schedule.
What Drives Us
Adapting efficiently to demands. Delivering precise, innovative solutions that drive success.
Valuing, supporting and investing in our people. Building skilled, motivated teams driven to excel.
Honesty and integrity in all our interactions. Building trust both internally and externally.
Championing unity by collaborating with employees, clients and partners to achieve shared goals.
Safe practice at the core of every action. Every worker protected, prepared and confident to deliver.

Dash Group — For Candidates
Everything you need to know about working with Dash Group — timesheets, pay, what to bring on site, FAQs and career advice.
Welcome
Welcome to the Dash Group Candidate Hub. Whether you're registering for the first time or a returning worker, this is your complete resource — from getting started to getting paid and everything in between.
We operate as 360 Specialist Consultants — one person who manages your registration, places you in the right role, stays in touch on site and keeps the work coming. No being passed between departments. One consultant. Total ownership.
Step by Step
Start by completing our online registration form via JobAdder. Include your skills, experience, tickets, licences and the type of work you're looking for. It takes about 10 minutes and is the first step to getting placed with Dash Group.
Register Now →Your Dash Group 360 Specialist Consultant will call you to discuss your skills and experience — straight talk, no fluff. We want to understand what roles suit you, your availability and preferred location so we can start matching you to the right opportunities.
Let's get to know each other. We're interested in your work history, what you're looking for in a role and what makes you the right fit. Face-to-face interviews are arranged where applicable. Come prepared — research Dash Group, know your strengths and bring questions.
We take care of the formalities — reference checks, licence and ticket verification, right-to-work checks and any other compliance requirements. We'll also complete your onboarding documentation via FlareHR, including your Tax File Number declaration and superannuation fund details.
Safety first. Before any placement, you'll complete a Dash Group WHS induction covering site safety, hazard identification, incident reporting and your obligations as an on-hired worker. This ensures you're compliant and protected before you set foot on site.
You're matched to a role that fits your skills and location. Your consultant briefs you on the site, the host employer's requirements and what to bring on your first day. Full-time and casual hours available depending on the role.
Your dedicated Dash Group consultant stays in touch throughout your placement — communicating available shifts based on your skill set and location, providing performance feedback and working to keep you consistently employed. The better you perform, the more shifts and overtime come your way.
Getting Paid
No approved timesheet = no pay. Here's everything you need to know to make sure you're paid accurately and on time, every week.
Submit a completed, signed timesheet by Monday 10am AEST and you'll be paid every Thursday morning. Once we release funds we have no control over your bank's processing times — if you haven't received pay by Thursday morning, contact us.
Your rate depends on your skills, experience, role and location. Highly-skilled professionals with their own equipment earn more than general labourers. Your performance, client feedback and tenure with Dash Group also influence your rate.
Some clients offer meal allowances, onsite allowances and fares and travel allowances depending on the job and award you're employed under.
Dash Group pays 12% super on your salary into your nominated fund. Set up your fund details via FlareHR during onboarding. The construction industry fund is CBUS.
Get your supervisor to sign your timesheet daily — especially if there's a chance you won't be back the next day.
Fill out, get your supervisor to sign, and email to timesheets@dashgroup.net.au by Monday 10am AEST.
Faster, paperless and easier. Submit via the FastTrack360 portal from your phone, tablet or computer. Speak to your Dash Group consultant to get set up.
Remember: No approved/signed timesheet, no host client name, no site address = NO PAY. Timesheets received late cannot be paid on time. Your payslip is emailed to you by Wednesday evening.
On Site
Be prepared every time. Here's what you need to bring and know before you step on site.
If you are involved in any incident or near miss — even if you weren't injured — you must report it to your supervisor and to Dash Group immediately. Early notification allows us to work with the client to eliminate the risk.

Contact your site supervisor as soon as you know you're unable to attend. This gives the employer time to find cover. Note: casually employed on-hired employees are not paid for hours not worked due to sick leave. If you saw a doctor, get a medical certificate.
