    Brief

    The British High Commission Canberra seeks qualified labour hire services to provide professionally trained event staff on an as-needed basis. Required personnel include wait staff, cleaning staff, and sous chefs to support official events such as dinners, lunches, and receptions held at the British High Commission building and Westminster House (the Official Residence of the High Commissioner). Suppliers should be able to provide reliable, trained professionals who can deliver high-quality service for diplomatic and official functions. This is an ongoing arrangement with work provided on an as-required basis rather than a fixed schedule.
