FAQS

Still on the fence? Here are honest answers.

Where will I work?

Most shifts are at GCCEC and BCEC, with other venues across SEQ (e.g. Sea World, Royal Pines, and event sites).

You’ll receive venue, address, call time, scope, and what to bring in your WhatsApp job request ✅

How will I receive jobs?

All job requests are sent via WhatsApp. You can accept or decline each job request — reliability matters, so only accept what you can commit to.

Do I need any qualifications?

Not always. Many shifts are general event labour.

If you have tickets/licences (Forklift, EWP/Scissor, Working at Heights, White Card, etc.), include them — it helps us place you on higher-skill shifts.

What documents do I need to provide?

To activate your subcontractor profile, upload:

• Passport ID page (for VEVO/right-to-work verification where applicable)

• Public Liability Insurance Certificate of Currency

• Any relevant tickets/licences you select

Do you take PAYG / employee workers?

No — OKKA Hire engages ABN subcontractors only.

Safety matters — we need to know you’re covered and job-ready.

What Language do I need?

English.

You’ll be briefed by a Project Manager and must communicate clearly for safety and coordination.

What should I bring/wear?

Closed-toe work shoes/boots, basic PPE if you have it, and be ready for physical work. The WhatsApp message will specify anything extra.

What happens after I take the Cultural Test?

We’ll review your details, confirm documents, book you in for a quick Zoom and then you’ll be added to the active crew list. After that you’ll start receiving job requests.

Do you pay super/ is this employee work?

If you’re onboarding as a subcontractor, you’re responsible for your own tax and insurances.

ABN subcontractors only. You’ll need an active ABN + public liability insurance to be approved.
