From Perth to Queensland, Manila to Dubai , Dubai to the United Kingdom, Peloton WorkReady is expanding its reach and strengthening its role as a bridge between global talent and Australia’s growth industries.
As workforce shortages continue to affect a range of sectors from construction to healthcare, the Western Australian-based workforce solutions provider is scaling its proven model of ethical recruitment across new regions, both at home and abroad.
Building a global hub in Dubai
Peloton WorkReady has long been recognised for its strong connections with Filipino workers, a trusted source of skilled professionals for industries across Australia. Now with the establishment of its new Dubai office, the company is taking that capability to the next level.
Reliance on a single source market has its limitations. So, Peloton has set up a recruitment hub in Dubai – a global city that attracts professionals from South Asia, North Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe.
Dubai is more than a new office; it is a strategic base. The city’s position as a global crossroads opens access to workers from diverse nationalities and professional backgrounds, spanning engineering, infrastructure, healthcare and hospitality.
By expanding into Dubai, Peloton can connect Australian employers with a broader pool of skilled candidates – increasing availability while bringing fresh cultural and professional perspectives into industries in need of talent.
“Dubai is a natural crossroads of global talent movement,” explained Brett McPhee, recruitment specialist and owner and operator of Peleton WorkReady. “It’s a place where professionals gain international experience before seeking opportunities in countries like Australia, the UK, Canada and Ireland.”
The hub is already delivering results, supplying heavy equipment mechanics to a major WA mining company , coded welders to the marine sector and aircon technicians to a well known WA company.
Looking ahead, Peloton plans to create pathways for Filipino workers into the Middle East by 2026. All employers are undergoing strict pre-qualification processes to ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and international labour standards.
Industry-ready skills
Through its Dubai base, Peloton is sourcing talent across building, engineering, healthcare, resources, IT and professional services.
The city’s unique role as a stepping stone for expatriates means Peloton can connect Australian employers with internationally experienced candidates who are actively seeking long-term opportunities in countries offering pathways to permanent residency and family migration.
Early results already highlight the strength of this model; clients are securing qualified staff for critical sectors, while workers are gaining meaningful, long-term careers and solving the skills shortage.
Expanding into Queensland
Closer to home, Peloton WorkReady is growing its footprint in Queensland, where industries such as building, infrastructure, mining and healthcare are experiencing strong demand.
Queensland’s skills shortages are wide-ranging, with government forecasts and industry reports consistently pointing to high demand in trades such as electricians, glaziers, bricklayers, welders, metal fabricators, fitters and mechanics, alongside growing need in health and aged care, IT and education.
Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs) in regions such as Cairns and Townsville highlight just how extensive the list of in-demand roles has become, with employers seeking pathways to recruit overseas workers to fill gaps in both metropolitan and regional centres.
The company is already supporting businesses in the state, from engineering and fabrication to recycling and public transport.
By leveraging its strong track record in Western Australia, where it has supplied skilled workers to some of the country’s most competitive markets, Peloton is proving it can deliver the same results in Queensland.
Built on compliance, consistency and strong relationships, its ethical approach has transformed the lives of workers and supported businesses across diverse industries – giving the company the credibility to scale with confidence.
Ethical recruitment
Peloton’s reputation rests on transparency and fairness. The company follows a strict zero-placement-fee policy, ensuring workers are never charged to secure a role.
Candidates receive full disclosure of contracts and conditions before deployment, and all recruitment processes are aligned with Australian labour laws and international standards to protect against modern slavery.
“At Peloton WorkReady, ethical recruitment means doing things the right way from the very start. That’s why we partner with trusted migration agents who share our values. By working closely with our partner, Absolute Immigration, we ensure every process is legally compliant, transparent, and supportive, giving our clients peace of mind and safeguarding the rights of every worker,” Brett McPhee said.
Support continues well beyond placement. Structured after-care programs include welfare checks, housing assistance, financial orientation and settlement support.
Peloton also facilitates open communication between employers and employees, helping address challenges early and building long-term success.
This ethical framework safeguards workers while helping businesses meet compliance obligations and protect their reputations.
From recruiter to strategic partner
Peloton’s ambition is to be more than a recruiter. Over the next three to five years, the company plans to expand across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the Middle East, Ireland, United Kingdom and Europe.
Its vision is to act as a strategic partner, working with clients to co-design workforce plans, anticipate skill shortages and provide long-term support for both employers and employees.
“Our after-care program is central to this approach,” Brett McPhee explained. “We stay present throughout the worker’s journey, from settlement to career pathways, ensuring sustainable, meaningful outcomes for businesses, workers and communities.”
Bridging global talent
From Perth to Dubai and from WA to Queensland, Peloton WorkReady is guided by a clear vision: to connect global talent with local opportunity.
By expanding internationally, investing locally and leading in ethical recruitment, Peloton is positioning itself as a long-term partner in Australia’s economic growth.
As industries face growing competition for skilled labour, Peloton’s combination of global reach, ethical practice and strategic workforce planning is more relevant than ever.
