Ethical Labour Hire Melbourne
Reboot Australia places work-ready, justice-impacted candidates across Melbourne and Victoria from our Richmond office. We are the employer of record. You get a motivated worker, lower risk, and ongoing throughcare support.
Labour Hire for Melbourne Employers Who Want More Than a Body
Most labour hire firms send you a name on a page. Reboot Australia sends you someone we have interviewed, prepared, and committed to backing through the first 90 days of work.
Victoria is Reboot's largest book of work. We run it from an office in Richmond, placing justice-impacted candidates into construction and manufacturing across the Melbourne metro, the south-east industrial corridor and regional Victoria. Our candidates have lived experience of the justice system - and a real reason to make a placement work.
To date Reboot has recorded 121 placements with 35 employers across Victoria.

Why Melbourne Employers Choose Reboot
Ethical labour hire is not a marketing slogan. It is a different operating model - one built around readiness, fit, and the long term.
An office in Melbourne
We work from Richmond, not from another state. We meet candidates and host employers face-to-face across the Melbourne metro, and Victoria is the largest part of our placement book.
Pre-screened and work-ready
Every candidate is interviewed, screened and prepared by our team before placement. We do not just send a resume - we send someone we can stand behind.
Employer of record
Under our labour hire model, Reboot Australia is the employer of record. We handle payroll, super, workers compensation and compliance. You get the worker, we carry the legal employer relationship.
Throughcare support
We stay involved after placement. Our lived-experience mentors check in with candidates and supervisors, support the first 90 days, and help work through any issues that arise.
Try before you commit
Labour hire lets you assess fit on the job. When the placement is working, you can convert to direct employment on terms that suit both sides.
Social procurement spend
Reboot is a certified social enterprise. Spend with us counts toward your social procurement targets - useful for businesses tendering on government or principal-contractor work.
Our Victorian Track Record
Reboot does not just recruit - we deliver reintegration programs and back every placement with throughcare. Here is what that has produced in Victoria.
