Jane Farrelly
Justine recently conducted mediation between 2 of our employees both of the workers reluctantly went through the process, although they considered it a waste of time and money. We were thrilled when both returned to the office and their relationship and productivity was resolved. They continue to work respectfully with each other and the rest of our small team. I highly recommend this process to any business experiencing issues with workers. Justine gained their trust, was professional, the outcome was what we had hoped and value for money. More...
What do you love most about your job?
At Essential HR, our passion lies in supporting Australian businesses with all their people requirements and obligations. We thrive on empowering business owners and leaders to make informed decisions, enabling them to drive their businesses forward with confidence. Seeing our clients succeed and knowing we've played a part in their growth and success is incredibly rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working in larger organisations with substantial HR budgets and access to advanced HR technology and experienced professionals, I recognised a gap in the market. Small to medium-sized businesses often miss out on this level of expertise due to the high costs of maintaining an internal HR team. This inspired me to create a scalable model that provides these businesses with top-tier HR solutions, available throughout the workweek. I wanted to ensure that every business, regardless of size, could benefit from expert HR support and technology, driving their success without the financial burden.
Why should our clients choose you?
At Essential HR, we are dedicated HR professionals specialising in outsourced HR and recruitment, right here in Australia. Unlike consulting and advisory firms, whose core specialisation isn't HR, we offer a deep understanding of the Industrial Relations system and recognise that HR is far more than just an administrative task.
Our services can be utilised independently on an ad-hoc basis, but for greater efficiency and cost savings, we offer seamless, integrated HR solutions. We believe that automation and systemisation should enhance your HR efficiency and compliance, bringing clarity to your HR practices and boosting your team’s productivity.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Essential HR has always been a remote business, even before COVID. Although we do go onsite occasionally at the request of our clients, it is not critical as our team utilise technology, such as Teams videos to meet with clients, train or perform demonstrations.
