Hire vetted pick packers in Newcastle in minutes.
Newcastle’s freight task is substantial: the port, the Beresfield and Thornton logistics belt and the distribution sheds feeding the Hunter. MyGig has extended NSW operations to Newcastle, and the warehouse pool is new and building, which the app shows honestly when you post a shift.
Peak-day order volume is the classic pick-pack problem: book extra packers for the days orders spike and pay only for hours worked. 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 pick packers 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.
