Built for contractors who don't have time to figure out a new city

We specialise in placements where the candidate is moving — either direction along the Canberra–Queensland corridor. If that's you, you're in the right place.

Canberra Federal Government contractors

Cleared and uncleared, on a Federal contract or chasing your next one. Canberra rates routinely outpace the rest of the country — and with our setup, you don't have to live in Canberra to earn them.

Brisbane & QLD IT contractors

State Government roles in Brisbane, Federal regional offices, and the private enterprise IT market across SEQLD. Developers, infrastructure, BAs, project and program work — the QLD contracting market is broader and busier than people realise.

Cleared & cyber security specialists

NV1, NV2 and PV in high demand on both sides of the corridor. Federal Government work in Canberra, plus growing State Government and defence-adjacent cyber roles across QLD.

Hybrid & split-life contractors

Want a Canberra role and a SEQLD home base? Or a Brisbane role with a Canberra pied-à-terre? We work with end-clients open to 40–50% WFH and a structured fly-in pattern — flights, accommodation and contract structure all sorted.

Recruitment-led, but never recruitment-only

The placement is where it starts. Everything else is designed around making that placement actually happen — without you stressing about removalists, rentals or finding a school for the kids.

1

Tell us where you're at

A short conversation about your clearance, skillset, target locations, work model preference (full move, hybrid, or temporary) and timing. We work out the realistic options on both sides of the corridor.

2

We match you to the role

Direct placements with end-clients where we hold the relationship, or sub-supplier into the major panel agencies. Federal Government, State Government and private enterprise — and we filter for clients open to your work model.

3

We sort the move

Removalist quotes, first three months in furnished accommodation, flights home for the early weeks, rental search, buyer's agent introductions if you're purchasing, and a broker who actually understands contractor income.

Placement at the core. A concierge around it.

We're a recruitment business first — that's where we earn your trust. The relocation layer is what makes us different from every other agency on a panel.

Core service

IT contract placement

IT contracts across the Canberra–QLD corridor. Federal Government work in Canberra, State Government and Federal regional roles in Brisbane, and the private enterprise IT market across SEQLD. Direct end-client engagements where we hold the relationship, or sub-supplier into established panel agencies. Cleared and non-cleared, 6–24 month engagements — with honest rate benchmarking and a frank conversation about where Canberra's premium sits against the rest of the market.

Relocation extra

Removalist partners

Vetted relationships with national removalists who quote corporate rates and turn up when they say they will.

Relocation extra

Rental search

Boutique property managers in both Canberra and Brisbane who'll work to your timeline, not the standard 30-day window.

Relocation extra

Buyer's agent referral

If you're buying, we connect you with one trusted buyer's agent in each city — people who know contractors and the local market.

Relocation extra

First 3 months sorted

Furnished accommodation at corporate rates for the first 1–3 months, plus structured flights home for the early weeks. Land light, find your feet, then move into a permanent rental or purchase when you're actually ready.

Make it work the way you live

Permanent move, hybrid split-life, or a temporary stint with flights home. We structure the role and the relocation around what suits you — not what's easiest for the agency.

Permanent

Full relocation

Family in tow, schools researched, removalists booked, rental or purchase sorted. We've done it dozens of times in both directions — and know where the friction shows up before it does. Right partners, right sequencing.

Hybrid

40–50% WFH split-life

Live in SEQLD with a Canberra role, or live in Canberra with QLD work — Tuesday-to-Thursday in office, the rest from your deck. We filter for end-clients open to it and know the carriers, routes, schedules and lounge access patterns that make a fly-in pattern actually sustainable week after week.

Temporary

Short contract stint

Furnished accommodation for the first 1–3 months (or the whole engagement if it's short), flights home, and a contract structure that keeps tax simple. Move light, work hard, exit clean — no twelve-month lease you'll regret.

Flight knowledge isn't a brochure — it's a habit.

Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast airports all in scope. We know which carrier's Monday morning runs work for a 9am standup, where the lounge access actually saves you an hour a week, and how the Coolangatta schedule rules out certain Northern NSW addresses for a fly-in pattern. The small stuff that decides whether a hybrid setup lasts six months or six years.

The Canberra–Queensland route, in both directions

It's not a coincidence we focus here. The contract flow runs both ways, the rate gap is real, and the relocation problems are identical on either end. We're built around that route specifically — and we know it ground level.

  • Canberra → Queensland & Northern NSW Trade Canberra winters for waterfront mornings without trading down the pay packet. Brisbane river suburbs, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and the Tweed–Northern NSW stretch are all live destinations — Federal-grade rates work just as well from a Sunshine Coast study.
  • Queensland → Canberra QLD IT professionals chasing Federal Government experience and the Canberra rate premium. Usually a 12–24 month window — long enough to build the CV and the deposit before heading home.
  • Real-world location knowledge Which Brisbane river suburbs match an APS commute pattern. Which Gold Coast addresses let you finish standup and be in the water by ten. How the Kingscliff–Pottsville stretch sits against the Coolangatta flight schedule. Real commute times — not Google estimates — for waterfront and beachside addresses across SEQLD and the northern NSW coast.

Equally invested in both directions

Give people the ability to live where they want — and contribute great work that moves Australia forward.

Addressing skill shortages. Opening new markets. Improving work–life balance and mobility.

1 Skill shortages

Connecting talent to the work that needs it

Australia's IT skill shortages aren't evenly distributed across the country. We move people to where the work is — without forcing them to give up where they actually want to live.

2 New markets

Opening lifestyle and regional markets

Professionals locked to a single city is a constraint, not a feature. Hybrid and mobility-friendly placements unlock entire markets — regional, lifestyle, family — that were previously closed off.

3 Work, life, mobility

Mobility as a structural advantage

Better work–life balance isn't a perk — it's how we build a workforce that stays in the game for the long run, contributing where it counts, for the country and themselves.

One conversation. Contract, move and flights handled.
