Australian Pacific Indigenous Personnel
Rockhampton
APIP is an Indigenous-owned labour hire and recruitment company. We recruit for Rockhampton employers across civil and commercial construction, mining, transport, manufacturing, agriculture, administration and retail, and we support the people we place long after their first shift.
Rockhampton is a regional centre on the Fitzroy River in Central Queensland, with a sizeable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The 2021 Census counted 7,102 Indigenous residents in the Rockhampton local government area, 8.7 per cent of the population, with a median age of 21. The biggest industries of employment for Rockhampton residents at that Census were hospitals, coal mining and social assistance services.
For job seekers, a good placement starts with being ready for it. We help people get the training, tickets and licences a role calls for, match them to work that suits them, and stay involved once they start, with mentoring on and off site, transport assistance, pastoral care and support for cultural and emotional wellbeing.
Looking for Indigenous jobs in Rockhampton? Register with APIP and tell us the work you are after.
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, and HR administration. 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, including education for your team on working effectively with staff from Indigenous backgrounds.
Whether you are a Rockhampton employer who needs reliable people or you are looking for your next role, contact us to talk it through, or register with us to start your job-ready journey. APIP recruits from our base in Townsville across North Queensland, Mackay, Gladstone and the other areas we cover.
