WHO WE ARE

Over 65 years placing contractors. Here's what that means for you.

When you contract through Chandler Macleod, you’re backed by one of Australia’s most established recruitment and workforce businesses.


We’re part of RGF Staffing, one of the largest staffing organisations in the world, which means our financial stability, infrastructure, our compliance practices and our payroll operations are built to last.


We place contractors across a wide range of sectors: government and defence, professional services, mining and resources, industrial and construction. Short-term assignments, long-term placements, and everything in between.

WHAT YOU GET

Everything handled. So you can focus on the work.

Paid On Time, Every Time

Your pay is processed on a weekly cycle. Reliable, consistent, and supported by a team that handles the admin so you don't have to.

Timesheets. Simple, Sorted.

Submit your hours online and have them approved by your manager before processing. Simple, transparent, done.

Consultants Who Stay in Touch

You’ll have a dedicated consultant who knows your industry. They’ll check in during your assignment and get ahead of what’s next before your contract ends.

Straightforward Onboarding

From your paperwork to your first day, we’ll walk you through it. You’ll know what’s happening and what’s expected before you set foot on site.

Compliance You Can Rely On

We manage your engagement in line with current Australian workplace laws and tax requirements. We hold the relevant labour hire licences across Australian states and territories, and all PAYG withholding is managed and remitted to the ATO on your behalf.

More than Just a Pay Run

As a Chandler Macleod contractor, you have access to CM Advantage, including salary sacrificing, novated leases, insurance options and more.

Super Taken Care Of

Superannuation applies to contractors engaged through a PAYG arrangement.

If that's you, we pay it monthly (well above the quarterly legal requirement).

And from July 2026, under the Payday Super reform, we'll pay your super at the same frequency as your wages, whether that's weekly or fortnightly.


If you're engaged through your own company as an incorporated contractor or ABN holder, your super obligations are managed separately through your own structure.


Not sure which arrangement applies to you? Your consultant will walk you through it at the start of your engagement.
