We are pride ourselves on being at the forefront of innovation & offering fair dinkum skills solutions to Australian industry

Since the late 1990’s the skills shortage has seriously impacted maintenance trade roles in Australia. So we listened to our customers & decided to do something about it.

In 2004 we started our 457 sponsorship Global Skills Program to help ease this problem. We invested in setting up international recruitment offices that primarily function to source the specific technical specialists that our partner clients require to grow their businesses.

Blue Tongue are one of the few on-hire businesses that can sponsor mechanic skilled labour from overseas making us a unique partner for candidates and clients in heavy mobile maintenance.

We are also a leader in up skilling for maintenance trades in Blue Tongue being granted Federal grants in 2010 to provide innovative group training and managed labour solutions to Australian industry and trades people looking to break into the heavy side of mobile plant and machinery.

Labour Management Solution

Many of our clients find it hard to fill roles in remote areas of Australia. This has resulted in higher than average turnover rates and labour cost blow outs.

As a solution to this, we developed a specialist practice that sources talent from national and international locations who are prepared to live in remote regions of Australia. We currently have representation in over 30 remote locations across Australia.
