Combining passion with attention to the finer details, our staff consistently work to ensure that all relevant clearances for working in the Defence space are acquired and maintained.

Led by a team with a combined 50 years of experience in government work, we maintain insurances such as worker’s compensation, public liability and professional indemnity. We also have the registration licenses required for operation in Queensland, Victoria and the ACT.

Our firm commitment to providing advanced and efficient services to the Defence recruitment space has informed our partnerships with major service providers. This helps us offer our clients unparalleled recruitment solutions.

For example, we partner with PMLogic consultancy to provide ICT contractors and consultants into Defence. Additionally, we have agreements in place with other DISP members for AGSVA clearances to help ensure the facilitation of a compliant and successful candidate-client relationship.
