Hire vetted freight handlers in Botany in minutes.
Botany is where Sydney’s freight arrives: Port Botany’s container terminals, the air-freight sheds around Mascot and the depots at Banksmeadow and along Botany Road follow vessel and flight schedules rather than office hours. MyGig’s transport-side pool covers freight handlers, dock hands and parcel sorters across Botany from the Sydney pool, our deepest.
Freight volume swings nightly: casual handlers scale your cross-dock to what actually arrives rather than what the roster guessed. No formal tickets are typically required to start; vetting covers identity, references and role skills.
Post the shift in about 60 seconds and watch vetted freight handlers 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.
