Trainers and compliance specialists for Aboriginal health organisation
State Aboriginal Health Organisation
The Challenge
A state Aboriginal health organisation needed to quickly engage skilled trainers to deliver Community Services, Alcohol and Other Drugs, Mental Health, and Counselling programs across regional Victoria. They also required experienced compliance professionals to strengthen quality and governance within their training operations. The organisation had limited internal recruitment capacity and needed a partner who could mobilise suitable candidates quickly.
Our Solution
Edutemps partnered with the organisation to provide qualified trainers on 10-month contracts, including travel and regional delivery arrangements, as well as sourcing maximum-term compliance specialists for 1- and 2-year appointments. We managed end-to-end recruitment, credential verification, and onboarding, ensuring every candidate met vocational, cultural, and compliance standards.
The Outcome
Rapid engagement: Roles filled within weeks of approval. Culturally aligned placements: Trainers and compliance staff successfully integrated into the organisation's workforce. Sustained partnership: Ongoing collaboration to meet future training and compliance staffing needs.

Partnership
"It's rare to come across recruitment companies that specialise in Education and do it so well. IT Masters has been using edutemps for its placements and each time, we've been impressed by how seamless the end to end process is. With one dedicated person looking after us, we've been able to build and maintain a strong business relationship. The stand-out for me is the consultative approach at Edutemps to keep current with industry practices, learn about our business and our company culture. This says a lot about the team's commitment to matching us with the right candidates and growing our talented pool of staff. I've dealt with other recruiters before and I've had to follow up constantly. Zoe (Edutemps Recruitment Manager) is very responsive. You can tell she really cares about her work, always keen to provide feedback and keep clients updated throughout the recruitment process. Afterall we're in education –we're about improving and making people better!"
