Concerned about HR costs? We offer transparent and flexible pricing options. Learn how our retainer packages can save you time and money while providing expert support.

How much does HR cost for a small business in Australia?

The cost of HR services can vary greatly depending on your specific needs and the size of your business. However, our HR retainer packages start at just $300 per month, offering an affordable and comprehensive solution for small businesses.  Our pricing scales with your business, ensuring you only pay for the support you actually need.

What are the benefits of having an HR retainer vs. hiring in-house staff?

An HR retainer offers several advantages over hiring in-house staff, especially for small businesses. It's more cost-effective, as you only pay for the services you need, without the overhead costs of salary, benefits, and office space. You also gain access to a team of experienced HR professionals with diverse expertise, ensuring you receive high quality support for all your HR needs.

How much does HR outsourcing cost compared to an in-house team?

HR outsourcing with a retainer model is typically far more affordable than maintaining an in-house HR team. Our retainer packages provide comprehensive support for a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time employee. Plus, you avoid the hidden costs associated with recruitment, training, and benefits.

What is an HR retainer and how does it work?

An HR retainer is a monthly subscription service that provides you with ongoing access to expert HR advice, support, and resources. You pay a fixed fee each month, and in return, you receive a range of services tailored to your business needs. This can include compliance audits, policy development, employee relations support, and more.

What are the different types of HR retainer packages available?

We offer various HR retainer packages designed to meet the needs of small and medium sized businesses. Our packages vary in price and services included, allowing you to choose the best fit for your budget and requirements. We also offer custom packages for businesses with unique needs.
