2025 marks a major milestone for Connect Staffing Group as we celebrate 20 years of placing and empowering nurses, chefs, aged care workers, FIFO professionals, and other essential staff across Australia.
What began in 2005 as a small recruitment team with a bold vision has grown into a nationally trusted name in healthcare and hospitality staffing. We are recognised for our people-first approach, deep industry knowledge, and unwavering commitment to both clients and job seekers.
How It All Began
Connect Staffing Group was founded on a simple but powerful idea. Healthcare professionals deserve to feel valued, supported, and inspired in their work, with access to flexibility and choice.
We saw a need for an agency that genuinely listens. One that provides meaningful, tailored placements for job seekers while helping hospitals, clinics, aged care providers, and hospitality services meet urgent workforce needs with skilled and dependable staff.
Our Journey So Far
Over the past two decades, we have proudly achieved the following:
- Placed thousands of professionals across metro, regional, and remote locations
- Grown to a team of more than 1100 active staff
- Filled 40,000 plus hours of work every month across more than 400 job sites
- Expanded operations across Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory
- Built lasting partnerships with leading public and private healthcare providers
- Earned national recognition for safety, wellbeing, and workplace excellence
Although we have grown, our values remain the same.

With a future-focused approach that places people at the centre, we continue to adapt, grow, and lead with purpose.
