100% INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN
LABOUR | PLANT & EQUIPMENT | CONCRETING
Strait Support is a 100% Indigenous owned and managed company based in Far North Queensland, specialising in increasing Indigenous participation in the workforce. We do this through engaging with reputable companies to become a project partner offering various levels of support and assistance.
Strait Support Labour Hire was established to address the lack of genuine, sustainable employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal and or Torres Strait Islander jobseekers. Strait Support’s point of difference is their focus to assist, support, mentor and grow our own people to have the confidence and skills to gain permanent employment. Strait Support does this by connecting Indigenous jobseekers with current opportunities with their network of clients.
WHAT DO WE DO?
LABOUR HIRE
Strait Support is a licenced labour hire provider and provides suitably skilled and experienced labour to assist when projects or workloads increase.
PLANT & EQUIPMENT HIRE
Strait Support has a range of vehicles and plant available for wet hire throughout the Torres Strait. The skid steers, excavators and trucks make a perfect combination for earthworks.
CONCRETING
Strait Support’s concrete truck and skid steer loaders equipped with hydraulic mixers provide efficient and economical concrete batching options in remote locations.

Koppens engaged Strait Support to assist us with the concrete slab extensions and fencing for the Sewer Pump Station Upgrades on Darnley Island. The Strait Support crew did a first-rate job in the inclement conditions with intermittent heavy rains being experienced during construction. This project also included a requirement for training to be provided, Shane and Stacey Lui were instrumental in helping us to successfully coordinate and deliver civil construction training to six local people. Koppens would not hesitate to engage Shane and the Strait Support crew to assist us again with any future projects in the Torres Straits.

I would like to give my thanks on behalf of the GBRMPA Indigenous Compliance team. The partnership, service, support in providing employment to four of our team could not have been done without you. The professionalism and genuine caring nature from this amazing family business has contributed to GBR traditional estate protection and given our young people the drive and passion in personal and professional development over the years. I look back in reflection knowing that the opportunity for growth started with this relationship. Our way, helping our mob, acknowledging, and driving towards our aspirations! Big Esso Shane and Stacey!

The TSRA Chairperson, Mr Napau Pedro Stephen AM congratulated the building team, Strait Support on achieving 73 per cent Indigenous participation during construction. While commercial fishers are pleased to have a point of seafood processing and trade on the island, local entrepreneurs are excited about the associated opportunities created.
