About us
Empowering Businesses with
People-First Solutions
We deliver Simple and Stress-Free HR Solutions
In 2013, Justine Pepper had a vision to transform the way businesses access HR consulting services. Thus, Essential HR was born.
Initially, offering traditional adhoc HR consulting, Justine soon realized that many businesses lacked the opportunity to stay updated with the latest HR practices, resources, and technology.
Driven by her commitment to bridge this gap, Essential HR introduced an innovative approach to HR solutions through an outsourcing/hybrid model.
"I believe that every business, regardless of size or industry, should have access to cutting-edge HR practices & systems."
To ensure we deliver top-tier solutions, in 2016 we formed a strategic partnership with renowned Australian HR and Payroll Platform provider, Employment Hero. As the first national partner of Employment Hero, we gained access to their powerful suite of tools and resources.
This partnership has enabled Essential HR to offer your business a wide range of future-proofed, reputable, and cost-effective solutions and services.
We go beyond traditional consulting firms by combining our fixed-fee services with advanced technology to deliver unmatched efficiencies, compliance, and forward-thinking strategies.
With Essential HR, you can expect innovative HR solutions that are tailored to your business's unique needs.
Now a team of 5 Human Resource, Industrial Relations and Recruitment experts, we are passionate and dedicated to helping you navigate the complex HR landscape, ensuring that your business remains competitive and compliant in today's rapidly evolving world.
Experience the Essential HR difference and unlock the full potential of your workforce.
