Labour Hire

In July 2019, Kalan Enterprises Aboriginal Corporation applied to the Qld Government for registration as an indigenous labour hire license holder under the provisions of the Office of Industrial Relations, Labour Hire Queensland registration process.

As a result of this application, Kalan enterprise was granted a license (Licence No: LHL-03774-Q4Y9P) for the provision of labour to industry, contractors and businesses. While this license is held by Kalan Enterprises, we called it Kalan Enterprises Labour Hire (KELH).

This outcome has positioned Kalan Enterprises as the first 100 % Indigenous owned Licensed Labour Hire entity servicing the central region of Cape York Peninsula.

Our footprint for the provision of Labour hire has the ability to cover the Cape based communities and projects undertaken in and around the communities of Coen, Lockhart River, Laura, Aurukun, Weipa, and Pormpuraaw.

KELH can also offer a range of services to ensure that new starters are trained to a Cert 3 VET level of competence.

We have a 3rd party relationship with the Myuma Group, an indigenous owned and managed business based in North West Queensland, that specialises in entry level training and upskilling of indigenous workers for the civil and construction and related industries.

Purpose

Every employment opportunity gained by a local indigenous person plays an important role in contributing to the day to day costs of living. If these opportunities can increase to the point of providing a regular stream of income, this then translates to improved family wellbeing and personal self-esteem.

Through KELH, we aim to build business networks and we strive to attract jobs for local indigenous people and make a positive contribution to the social stability and building healthier communities in our region.

Being an indigenous specific labour hire company, Kalan Enterprises Labour Hire (KELH) provides a unique service to government agencies and private contractors who are seeking to engage local indigenous people in their business or projects in central Cape York.
