General Labour Hire
Reliable hands for the jobs that keep a site moving.
Work that doesn't need a ticket still needs doing
What general labour actually solves
Every site carries work that doesn’t call for a trade ticket but still has to get done. Site clean-ups, materials handling, spotting, deliveries and general set-up all take time away from tradespeople who are paid to do something else.
General labour hire puts people on site to do that work directly, so your carpenters aren’t sweeping floors and your foreman isn’t chasing deliveries. It’s the difference between paying a trade rate for general work and paying a general rate for it.

Matched to the job, not just available
Who we send
General labourers go through the same process as our ticketed trades. We confirm they can pass a site induction, that they have the right PPE, and that they understand basic site safety before they arrive.
You tell us the role, the site and the start time. We match someone who’s done that kind of work before, not whoever happens to be free.

The two-hour guarantee applies here too
Why clients stay with Elite
If a labourer we send isn’t up to the job, tell us within the first two hours of the shift. You won’t be invoiced for it, and we’ll get a replacement moving.
That guarantee isn’t reserved for ticketed trades. General labour is often the first job a new client gives us, and it’s worth doing properly.
Alongside it: one invoice covering payroll, superannuation and workers’ compensation, and a direct contact who already knows your site.

Common questions about general labour hire
General labourers, trades assistants, site cleaners, materials handlers, spotters, and warehouse and store hands.
What counts as general labour on a construction site?
Work that doesn’t need a trade ticket but still needs doing — clean-ups, materials handling, deliveries and spotting. It keeps your ticketed trades doing ticketed work.
How fast can Elite supply general labourers in Perth?
For most Perth sites, next morning, and often the same day if you call early. We’ll tell you honestly if a specific site or timeframe isn’t achievable.
Are general labourers inducted before they arrive?
Yes. We confirm they can complete a site induction and arrive with the right PPE before the first shift.
