FAQs On Outsourcing HR in Melbourne
Why outsource HR?
An HR department is an essential part of any business, but many SMEs are now choosing to outsource this function. That’s because an offsite service provider such as Employment Innovations offers all the core HR services, along with a number of attractive benefits including;
Reduced costs – there is no need for office space or salaried staff, as an outsourced HR consultant is based offsite and charges only for their time.
Better time management – with all the paperwork and time-consuming admin taken care of by an outsourced provider, you and your staff are free to concentrate on growing your business and increasing your revenue.
Specialized advice & support – a consultant has access to a wider range of resources than a typical in-house HR department. For example, Employment Innovations offers HR departments access to a Lean HR methodology with HR metrics, tools, training and insight to deliver highly innovative best-practice HR.
More valuable employees – an outside consultant has access to better recruitment resources such as proven hiring strategies and benefit packages and can attract better employees to your business to improve innovation, productivity and company culture.
Improved risk management – an outsourced provider’s expert knowledge of employment law means they will ensure your business remains up to date and compliant in areas such as employee management, pay awards and health & safety.
To learn more about why you should outsource your HR, feel free to have a chat with an Employment Innovations consultant.

How does HR outsourcing work?
There are several reasons why SMEs will look at outsourcing HR functions including;
- The high cost of an in-house HR department
- A lack of expertise in dealing with complex HR issues
- No time to devote to the administrative tasks involved with HR
- A need to focus on core business objectives like growing their business and increasing revenue
- A need for help with employee recruitment, onboarding, training and development
- Ongoing issues with compliance, employee misbehaviour or declining performance.
Outsourcing is when a business employs a service provider to take over the management of some or all of its HR functions, either temporarily or long-term.
Outsourcing needs vary by business, with some only needing routine HR tasks managed such as payroll and recruitment and others needing a wider range of services and a greater degree of participation.
Outsourcing arrangements can be part-time, full-time or by the hour and either working remotely offsite or on-site as a member of the Melbourne management team.
And it’s because of this wide variation in outsourcing needs that Employment Innovations offers a level of service to cater for every business including;
- HR Connect – you pay a low monthly fee for access to resources and unlimited advice.
- HR Consulting – a consultant is available as needed to manage one-off issues such as investigations and problems with under-performance or misconduct.
- HR Partner – you partner with an HR professional to audit current practices, identify business needs and develop an HR plan for the future.
To discuss any of these outsourcing services in more detail, feel free to contact an Employment Innovations consultant in Melbourne today.
How much do HR consultants charge in Melbourne?
It all depends on which service provider you go with and what you need them to do for you.
For example, Employment Innovations’ virtual HR service starts from just $250 per month. This gives you ongoing remote access to an HR consultant and a suite of proven HR tools, processes and training.
While at the other end of the spectrum, if you need serious HR input, with HR tools, advice and a dedicated consultant working alongside your management team, our HR Partner service from $1,150 a month has all your HR needs covered.
It includes on-demand HR support, tools and advice from a dedicated HR professional who will manage the life cycle of each of your employees. They will also audit your current HR practices, work with you to identify your business needs and help you develop an HR plan for the future.
The cost of HR consultancy is minimal when you consider the ROI it provides. It saves you from the expense of having to invest in your own onsite HR department and it frees you up to be able to concentrate on your core business objectives.
So it’s fair to say that the cost of HR consultancy is actually extremely affordable when you take into consideration the value it offers your business.
