What is Red Knot?

Red Knot is a channel provider that ensures that quality people get quality employment in sectors where no Australian is available to do the work we are about building Australia, not undermining it!

What Red Knot ensures

  • Each candidate has the language skills, experience and education to live, work and embrace Australian values
  • Every step from the country of origin, all over the world, to the employer in Australia is professional and safe
  • An employer can accept a worker from any country, in which we operate, and know they will meet their high expectations
  • One source of information so the whole process of getting workers to Australia is fully accountable to all the stakeholders.

What Red Knot is not

  • A labour hire business
    1. While we can work with anyone, we would prefer to supply high quality Australian businesses directly with talent that meets their requirements
  • Confined to one country of origin, and we do not encourage migration for its own sake
    1. We believe that good talent exists everywhere, and it should be encouraged to help build Australia
    2. We believe that every person coming to Australia should have an employer who needs them or an institution who can educate them or both
  • Fixed to any one partner
    1. We will work with any talent acquisition company, migration agent, transport company, quarantine, education provider and employer that is seeking to work with an ethical, reliable, accountable and transparent channel to attract and retain workers into Australia.
