Urban HR is your HR Consultant & Advisory team.

HR Management

Managing HR is a particularly challenging task, and small businesses often don’t have the capacity for a full-time HR Manager but still require the expertise. Our HR consultants can provide you with HR advice when you need it and not when you don’t.

Whether you need help with employee wages, terms and conditions, job descriptions, policies and procedures or performance management, we’ll provide you with expert support and advice in all the HR areas you require. We are your external HR partner.

Urban HR fills that Gap.

We’re used to dealing with the tricky side of HR from Modern Award terms and conditions, Award and Enterprise Agreement interpretation, independent investigations and more. We hold a Private Investigator’s Licence, so you know we have the skills to conduct impartial investigations.

We live and breathe HR, so you don’t have to. We are HR specialists in our field, and our team is here to help you.

So if you need HR assistance, whether it’s hiring staff, figuring out pay rates, or advice on employment terms and conditions, leave the HR to us while you concentrate on your business.
