Australia PEO (APEO) — Service Provider

APEO offers a rare ANZ proposition: a locally based Employer of Record combined with government authority to sponsor visas (On-Hire Labour Agreement in Australia; High-Volume Employer Accreditation in New Zealand). This integrated Visa Sponsorship + EOR model lets clients hire quickly and compliantly without a local entity, consolidating contracts, payroll, HR and immigration into one workflow. In 2024 APEO launched an automated onboarding/visa pipeline (30–40% faster onboarding), maintained a 100% visa approval rate, and scaled from 23 to 230 managed employees (2019–2025) across 95+ clients. Case studies span M&A continuity deeds, WHS-aligned deployments and multinational contract harmonisation—backed by plain-English onboarding resources and educational content. This submission evidenced time/cost savings, reduced risk, and enduring client confidence through local expertise and end-to-end delivery.
