NQCCS P/L creates Indigenous jobs in remote communities.

In the Torres Strait and NPA, Joe Di Bella from North Queensland Commercial Consulting Services (NQCCS) Pty Ltd has partnered with local cleaning and gardening contractor Roy Boiiz Cleaning and Gardening Services, tailoring training courses to train and mentor their staff on grounds maintenance and cleaning.

Training delivered to Roy Boiiz has helped the company develop its business plan and a better understanding of the competitive tendering process.

Roy Pearce of Roy Boiiz said the partnership had already seen the company increase its workforce from four to seven.

“A training curriculum has been tailored to suit participants in this program and as a result our employees have successfully completed Telstra’s induction process,” Mr Pearce said.

“There are plans to extend training to include general pest control, noxious weeds and mosquito control.

“We hope our workforce will continue to grow thanks to this pilot project, and look forward to continuing our work with NQCCS who have committed to provide training and mentoring locally in communities to support us.”

NQCCS P/L is committed to achieving the highest standards of honesty and integrity in business.
By employing and supporting indigenous businesses we are able to provide – A job for an Indigenous Australian which gives that person and their company a chance to support themselves, their family and community, learn new skills and act as a role model for future generations,

By working with and supplying work for independent individual indigenous businesses in our IWP throughout urban regional and remote regions, we help sustain the economies of remote communities allowing the population to have work where little exists, pride of purpose, stay on country and live and practice culture.

We are not part of Supply Nation but an independent company giving back to our fellow Australians

Our aim is to provide a one stop shop with cost effective quality of service encompassing attention to detail and client satisfaction.

Doing it right the first time

NQCCS P/L will honour all service commitments; attend to Client requirements ensuring a mutually acceptable resolution

Established in 2001, NQCCS P/L began servicing the Townsville and Cairns regions providing consulting, facility’s maintenance and pest control, and then expanded into the Far North, Torres Strait and West to Mt Isa.

As clientele grew, we adopted a cost-efficient strategy that allowed us to program works, increase services and apportion expenses thereby affecting both a time and cost benefit for our clients. Within 5years from the start of operations NQCCS P/L became National.

Giving Back to People, Culture, Community and Country:

Our visits to remote areas of Australia demonstrated the need for new opportunities for indigenous people in these communities

We needed to build self-sufficiency and a future for them and their children.

Working with locals we have developed this program in partnership with Telstra to train motivated indigenous men and women in operating and running a small business in the maintenance and upkeep of remote assets.

We maintain a close ongoing relationship, mentoring and upskilling as different needs arise for service.

This has been the main core for sustaining our indigenous work force who otherwise would not have the means to sustain a business future where no exist in our rural and remote regions of Australia.

NQCCS wants these communities and local people to build sufficiency and a sustained future
