Tech company Workfast has extended an Uber-like, on-demand recruitment platform it launched last year to the Australian mining industry.
The technology, which has already found success in Australia’s construction industry, will provide mining companies with access to labour hire workers at variable rates of pay, a first for the industry, according to the Sydney-based start-up.
A NEW business has launched which promises to supply workers in a jiffy and farmers are getting on board.
Sydney-based start-up Workfast launched in September and has been flat out matching employees and employers across all sectors in metro and rural areas. Its claim to fame is it can supply workers in a process that’s easy as “ordering an Uber”.
The start-up, headed by entrepreneur Tim Nieuwenhuis, relies on a web and mobile-based platform which allows employers to log their job, set a price and connect to workers.
EMPLOYERS are bracing for a financial hit of more than $50 million this Friday with nearly 380,000 workers expected to chuck post-Australia Day sickies.
With Australia Day falling on a Thursday this year, many will find it hard to resist the temptation of a four-day public holiday long weekend.
Tim Nieuwenhuis, CEO of on-demand labour-hire app Workfast, said one way employers could cut down on sickies was to say to staff early in the week: “I’m looking forward to seeing you on the 27th.”
Over 4000 vessels are expected to hit Sydney harbour, to catch a glimpse of this New Years fireworks display. With the fierce competition for a prime vantage point, maritime authorities are reminding skippers of boating etiquette.
"Hitting the finest foods, having the finest drinks and having the finest service" as you watch Australia's greatest fireworks display from the fifth most expensive charter yacht in the country. Daniel Da Silva, 'Any Boats' Managing Director talks about living life like a superstar onboard some of the most prestigious boats to hit the water this New Years Eve.
Leather lounges, sun-beds and a jacuzzi await the secret celebrity guests. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity," says Daniel Da Silva, CEO of Anyboat Charter Agency. "You get to escape the crowds and have the front row seat for all the fireworks of New Years Eve."
1.6 million people are expected to line the harbour to watch the show this New Years Eve, but if you want to avoid the crowds, chartering one of the most elegant boats in the harbour is the best way to do that.

Despite glowing praise from bystanders on Chapel Street, drag queen Art Simone has become the victim of vicious online trolling for being the shopping precinct's new-look Santa. "People who say such things clearly don't have an understanding of drag culture, which is sad because drag is ingrained within Australian culture - think of Priscilla and Dame Edna!
The drag queen carollers will take to the Chapel Street precinct every Saturday and Sunday between 1 and 5pm, until December 24.
While the substitute won't be a drag, they will be in drag.
It’s a display of both naughty and nice and it’s bringing traffic to a standstill and turning the heads of many shoppers on the shopping strip.
Usually Old Saint Nick would visit the popular shopping district, however Chrissie Maus of Chapel Street Precinct Association told 7 News it was time for a change.
CHAPEL St has booted Santa Claus from shopping festivities in favour of drag queens singing Christmas carols to “celebrate diversity”.
In an attention-grabbing move likely to mystify traditionalists, outlandishly dressed entertainers will lip synch to blaring Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey yuletide album tunes from the back of luxury convertible BMWs on weekend afternoons until Christmas.
