One City. Many Workforces. One Local Partner.
Melbourne isn’t one labour market. It’s many. The southeast runs on manufacturing and logistics, the west on freight and warehousing, the north on production and food, the east on light industrial and commercial services, the inner city on corporate and hospitality. Each region moves at its own pace and demands its own skill mix.
SMS Personnel has spent two decades placing people across all of them. Headquartered in Dandenong South — close enough to act fast for southeast clients, and connected enough to deploy across Tullamarine, Laverton, Box Hill or Frankston on the same day a brief arrives.
Local presence. Metro-wide reach. Same-day response across Greater Melbourne.

Compliance First
Licensed, Compliant, and Trusted in Victoria
SMS Personnel holds a current Victorian Labour Hire Licence (VICLHL01068). Every worker we place across Melbourne is covered by appropriate WorkCover insurance, and we maintain full compliance with the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic).
Engaging an unlicensed labour hire provider carries significant penalties for Victorian host businesses. Working with SMS Personnel removes that risk entirely.
Protect your business from the penalties applied to hosts that engage unlicensed operators.

Trusted by Melbourne Businesses
“SMS Personnel is a fantastic company with quality people. VicTas Freight Express has been using casual staff on a daily basis for the past 3 years and we could not be happier with the service Faye and Dion provide. SMS Personnel always has people available at short notice when we have staff cancel, and are a great asset to our business.”
“I have been dealing with Faye and her team for a few years now and have always found them to be responsive, rather than reactive, to my business needs. Whether it’s retail, clerical or warehousing staff you are after, SMS Personnel will have you covered for the part we all find hard in small business — choosing the right candidate for the role.”
“SMS Personnel is a great company dedicated to assisting our business with its ever changing requirements and growth. Dion’s down to earth and hands on approach to finding the right candidate that will fit within the dynamics of the business is excellent. I have used SMS Personnel’s services for over 7 years and would highly recommend them.”
