Workers Who Know the Territory
From mining & resources and construction & civil to plant maintenance, oil, gas & energy, manufacturing and warehousing & logistics, Territory businesses call on us whether they need a crew for the season or a permanent hire.
Our NT candidates live in the Territory, so they're used to the heat, the wet season and the long distances between towns, and they don't need relocating.
Our coverage runs from Darwin, Palmerston and the rural area down through Katherine and Tennant Creek to Alice Springs, plus Nhulunbuy, Jabiru and remote sites across the Top End.
Held to our QLD and VIC licence standards

Flexible Labour Hire and Permanent Hiring in the NT
The dry season can stretch any crew thin, and a good supervisor is hard to replace. Whether you need extra workers for a busy stretch or a permanent appointment, we fill it with people based in the Northern Territory.
Short term cover works well for leave, the dry-season peak and planned shutdowns. Project crews can stay on until the work is handed over.
Rates are confirmed in writing first, with no surprises on the invoice.
Labour Hire Across the NT, Matched to Your Site
Let us know the trades, tickets and roster, and we'll find Territory workers suited to the heat, long rosters and remote locations.
Temp to perm: 'try before you buy' - trial a worker on your site, and if they suit, make the person permanent.
Wages, long service leave, superannuation, insurance and payroll tax sit with us as the employer, not with your office.
Permanent Recruitment From Darwin to Alice Springs
For long-term roles, our recruiters source supervisors, tradespeople, operators, engineers and site administration staff right across the Territory.
We place the ads, phone-screen every applicant and speak to their referees before you see a shortlist.
Every search is set up for your business, from a single senior hire to an entire team.
Mining Labour Hire in the Northern Territory
Our Territory crews cover gold in the Tanami and around Tennant Creek, McArthur River's zinc, lead and silver operation, and manganese mining on Groote Eylandt.
We also cover bauxite at Gove, the restarted Finniss lithium operation south of Darwin, and maintenance and shutdown work at the LNG plants around Darwin Harbour.
Site medicals and inductions sorted early
HRW licences and trade papers verified
Fitters, electricians, operators and shutdown crews
Why NT Employers Use Wolfpack Hire
The Northern Territory doesn't license labour hire providers, so there's no Territory register to look us up on. Our Queensland licence (LHL-08494-T0K1G) and Victorian licence (VICLHL10377) set the standard we apply to every NT placement.
You'll have one account manager who knows your sites, from the first call onward.
Territorians on Territory Jobs
From Palmerston to Alice Springs, we hire people who live in the NT, ideally close to your site. Locals cope better with the heat and the distances, and they're more likely to see the job through.
Every Ticket Checked
Before anyone is put forward we sight their right to work, White Card, trade qualifications and HRW licences, and nobody starts without your sign-off.
Built to Scale With You
Lots of our clients start with one worker for a short job. As your business grows, we grow with you, whether that means a bigger crew next season or permanent appointments down the track.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do labour hire providers need a licence in the NT?
Not at the moment. There's no NT scheme for licensing labour hire, but we're licensed in two states that have one, Queensland and Victoria, and we bring that standard to the Territory.
Are your NT workers based in the Territory?
Yes. We recruit NT roles locally, so your workers already live in the Territory, travel less, cost less to mobilise and know the climate.
Can you supply crews for remote mine sites?
Yes. Our Territory-based workers can run fly-in, fly-out or drive-in, drive-out rosters from Darwin and Alice Springs, and we arrange each site's medicals and inductions.
Which parts of the NT do you service?
Greater Darwin and Palmerston, Katherine, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, Nhulunbuy and remote Top End and Central Australian sites. If you're somewhere else in the Territory, give us a ring.
When can workers be on site?
It comes down to the type of work, the tickets involved and the distance to site. Send your requirements through and we'll confirm a start date you can plan around.
What affects the cost of labour hire in the NT?
Rates reflect the trade, whichever award or EBA covers the role, the tickets involved, the roster and the site's remoteness. We quote in writing before anyone mobilises.
