ACU maintains a panel of approved recruitment agencies under a Preferred Supplier Agreement (PSA) to support temporary labour, specialist recruitment, and hard-to-fill vacancies.
These agencies provide national reach, experience, and expertise across a range of disciplines, including student services and administration, IT, HR, finance, marketing, office support and executive assistants, governance, and facilities management.
Under ACU's Preferred Supplier Agreement (PSA), fees for temporary labour hire and permanent placements have been pre-negotiated. Hiring managers can engage any approved agency directly without obtaining multiple quotes for services.
Always use an approved supplier unless a formal exemption has been requested and approved. For further information, please contact the Talent Team.
Once the required approvals have been obtained, hiring managers can approach an approved recruitment agency directly or contact their Talent Partner for advice on the most appropriate supplier.
The Temporary Labour Requisition Form can be used to obtain approvals and as a guide to the information recruitment agencies will typically require when sourcing temporary staff.
