Australian Pacific Indigenous Personnel
Cairns
APIP is an Indigenous-owned labour hire and recruitment company. We recruit for Cairns employers across civil and commercial construction, manufacturing, transport, administration, agriculture, mining and retail, and we support every person we place long after their first shift.
Our work in Cairns is the same work we do across North Queensland. We find people who want steady employment, get them job-ready with the training and licensing the role actually calls for, match them properly, then stay involved once they start.
That last part is where most labour hire stops and we do not. Mentoring runs on and off site, and it covers the practical things that decide whether a job lasts: transport assistance, pastoral care, home visits, and support for cultural and emotional wellbeing. A placement that suits someone’s life is a placement they keep.
For employers, we handle the whole process. Labour hire on a casual or permanent basis, specialist recruitment and job matching, training and licensing, payroll, insurance and workers’ compensation claims, HR administration and job performance reviews. You get people who are ready to work, and one point of contact for the paperwork behind them.
We also work with employers who want to build an Indigenous employment footprint rather than fill a single vacancy. That includes education for your team on working effectively with staff from Indigenous backgrounds, which matters more to retention than most businesses expect.
Whether you are a Cairns employer who needs reliable people, or you are looking for your next role, APIP is a practical place to start. Cairns sits within the wider North Queensland region we recruit across, north of our base in Townsville and alongside the other areas we cover.
