Hire construction labourers in Brisbane: we're not taking bookings here yet.
Brisbane’s construction pipeline is stacked a decade out: Olympic venues, Cross River Rail, health builds and inner-city towers. Labourers and trade assistants are in structural shortage across the city, making site support one of Brisbane’s most advertised casual occupations.
Every labourer arrives with a verified White Card and site-ready PPE, booked by the day so your labour cost tracks the program, not the calendar. Typical requirements: white card (cpcwhs1001).
MyGig is not taking bookings in Brisbane yet, and we would rather say so than let you plan around a service that is not there. Queensland is planned for 2027. Where we do operate (NSW, WA, TAS and NT), businesses post shifts and book vetted casual construction labourers for one flat 15% service fee, with MyGig as the Employer of Record carrying payroll, super and workers compensation. Register your interest and we will tell you the moment Brisbane opens.

Work in progress: we're not taking bookings in Brisbane yet, and nothing on this page is an offer to supply staff there. MyGig operates as the authorised Employer of Record in NSW, WA, TAS and NT. Register interest on the Brisbane page →
