When you employ someone, the type of employment options available include full-time, part-time, casual, fixed term, contractor, apprentice or trainee.
Finding skilled staff
Jobs registers and employment organisations can help you find the staff you need.
See Workforce Australia and create an account to advertise jobs in your business and find staff for free.
The Skill Connect Register connects employers with:
- out of trade apprentices and trainees looking for work
- job-ready candidates for the construction industry.
Once registered as an employer, you can search the register for suitable candidates, view their details and make contact.
Skilled migrants
There is a range of options for recruiting skilled migrant workers. They may already be in Australia as a state-nominated visa holder, working holiday-maker or international graduate. Skilled Arrival Services has a register of highly skilled workers with overseas-gained qualifications and skills.
If you need to look offshore to recruit overseas skilled workers, local employer visa options are explained on the Immigration SA website.
Training your staff
Find out about support for employers and business and find a training course for your staff.
Induction

Safety training for workers
As a business owner, you must provide training for elected Health and Safety Representatives under Work Health and Safety Laws.
If your business is in a high-risk industry or is a small business with fewer than 100 workers, a subsidy may be available.
