Hire vetted construction labourers in Newcastle in minutes.
The Hunter’s construction pipeline is one of regional Australia’s busiest: housing releases through Maitland, health and education works, and energy projects on the horizon. MyGig supplies White Card labour in Newcastle as one of our newest areas, with honest depth rather than borrowed Sydney numbers.
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).
Post the shift in about 60 seconds and watch vetted construction labourers apply. MyGig is the Employer of Record: employment contracts, award-interpreted payroll with the clause cited, 12% superannuation, and workers compensation all sit with us. You get one invoice and one flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, with the full cost estimated before you book.
Founding client offer: the 15% fee on your first shift is credited back in full. See the offer →

What award covers casual construction labourers in Newcastle?
Construction labourer work in this industry is typically priced under the Building and Construction General On-site Award (MA000020). Published casual rates under the Building and Construction General On-site Award start from $35.10/hr as at 1 July 2026, including the 25% casual loading. Penalties and allowances can apply on top depending on when and where the shift runs; the award page and the official Fair Work pay guide carry the detail.
Are the construction labourers vetted?
Yes. Every worker is vetted on 30+ data points before they can accept a shift, including identity, right to work and references, and role requirements such as white card (cpcwhs1001) are verified and visible on the profile.
Does MyGig cover construction labourer staffing in Newcastle?
Yes. Newcastle is a newer part of our NSW operation, so the local construction labourer pool is still building. The app shows honest availability for your dates rather than a promise, and coverage grows as more vetted workers join.
What does hiring construction labourers cost?
One flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, the same for every client and every construction labourer shift, with the full cost estimated before you book. There are no placement fees and no volume tiers: the rate is published and identical everywhere MyGig operates.
