Labour Hire for Papua New Guinean Workers in Queensland
Wantok Pacific Labour Agency helps Papua New Guineans find trusted labour hire support for work across Queensland — with compliance, respect, and real pastoral care.
A labour hire partner for PNG workers
If you are searching for a labour hire company for Papua New Guinea workers, or PNG labour hire Australia options focused on Queensland, Wantok Pacific is here to help.
We specialise in connecting reliable, pre-qualified workers from Papua New Guinea, the Pacific Islands, and Australia with quality employment opportunities. We are particularly strong in PNG pathways — and we treat people with the respect they deserve.
Licensed Queensland labour hire (LHL-09396-V3L1Y)
Wantok Pacific Labour Agency holds Queensland labour hire licence LHL-09396-V3L1Y. That means we operate under Queensland labour hire laws and take compliance seriously — for workers and for employers.
We are not a migration agent. We help with labour hire, recruitment support, and pastoral care. Visa decisions sit with the Australian Government and registered migration professionals.
Support for PNG workers in Far North Queensland
Based around Cairns, our Cairns Support Hub is a welcoming place where workers can get practical help — meals, computers and Wi-Fi, paperwork support, job readiness, and settling into life in Queensland.
Pastoral care matters. When you are far from family and wantok, having a place to ask questions and get organised can make the difference between struggling and settling in well.

About PALM and official PNG channels
Some Papua New Guineans work in Australia through the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme. Official worker registration for PALM in PNG is managed through government labour mobility channels — not through paid “agents”.
Learn more on the official PALM PNG page and Labour Mobility PNG. Wantok Pacific can support labour hire and pastoral care within our licensed Queensland services — we will never ask you to pay to “guarantee” a placement.
