In Australia today temporary migrant intakes outnumber permanent arrivals by three to one, with 2.1 million temporary migrants currently living in Australia.
We can help enrich your workplace with happy, hard working, successful and determined immigrants many of which have been living and contributing to the Australia we all know and love on temporary visas for up to 7 years already. Their desire to secure full-time employment that leads to permanent residency evokes a passion and determination to deliver for an employer not often matched. And all at nominal cost to employers.
So if you’re an employer that can see the enormous value of diversity in the workplace, talk to us today. We have high quality long-term immigrants from south Asian countries, South America, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan just to name a few. We’ll connect you and upon a successful interview and evaluation, we can help walk you through every step of the process that secures you a new valuable member of your team.
Why hire Immigrants
and refugees?
Not only does it give a person the chance to build a new life, it’s also good for Australia, your business and your workforce.
To be self sufficient is a vital part of anyones life, and employment and career building is critical part of an immigrant or refugee’s life that often starts with so much uncertainly. Building a future for themselves and their families is a life long goal.
Getting that job help brings economic security creating feelings of belonging, being valued and recognised as an individual. Integrating into our workforce builds social cohesion and enriches our economy, conditions that are both good for business.
Good for Australia
We are motivated to provide an opportunity to improve the circumstances of individuals.

Good for business
More and more customers, clients and investors are attracted to businesses with strong corporate social responsibility credentials (CSR). They understand that companies with more diverse workforces perform better, and people from a refugee or immigrant background bring cultural knowledge that can be your competitive advantage. Deliver better services, build customer loyalty, and penetrate into new and emerging markets. Research shows the business benefits of broadening the diversity of your customers.

A group of people with different lived experiences will bring different perspectives and ideas when solving problems. Diversity of thinking has been shown to benefit businesses in their decision-making. Studies have shown that inclusive workforces and teams perform better and are more likely to innovate. Other research shows that ethnically diverse companies are 35% more likely to perform better than their peers. Refugees’ life experiences involve unique challenges that give them the ability to make an important contribution to solving business problems.
Good for decision making
Good for workforce
Employees from a refugee background have higher retention rates and, because of their experience, often have personal qualities like resilience, adaptability and drive to succeed. Some have many years of work experience in Australia already, but have not secured that one permanent full-time role that has enabled them to secure permanent residency, allowing them to put down roots and establish a family here. People are proud to contribute to the society that has given them freedom and safety and colleagues of immigrant and refugee employees, also feel enriched by the opportunity to make a difference to someone building a new life.
