What You'll Bring

  • 3–5 years' experience as an HR Coordinator, Advisor, or Generalist in Australia.
  • Degree in Human Resources or related discipline (preferred).
  • Strong understanding of HR compliance, Fair Work Act, WHS obligations, and award interpretation (Restaurant Industry Award highly regarded but not necessary).
  • Experience managing workers' compensation claims and return-to-work programs.
  • Familiarity with HRIS/payroll systems such as Xero, Deputy, Roubler or similar.
  • High accuracy, strong communication skills, and ability to work independently.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach in a small, busy HR team.
  • This is a busy role suited to someone who thrives with autonomy and minimal handholding.

We offer

  • Work closely with senior leadership and HR across a growing hospitality group.
  • Exposure to compliance, payroll, WorkCover, and safety initiatives.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
  • A collaborative environment that welcomes ideas and improvement.
