Real Jobs.
Real Change.
For Victoria.
One of Victoria's first labour hire social enterprises — licensed, compliant, and built entirely around getting the state's most excluded people into real, sustainable employment.
Kazi Konnect — By the Numbers
The Opportunity Clock
Somewhere in Victoria right now, a young person is waiting for their chance. Time doesn't pause. Neither do we.
"Every tick of this clock is a moment someone could be starting their first real job."
— John Kuot, Founder
The People Others
Keep Skipping Over.
Not as a charity — as a licensed labour hire business that happens to focus on the people who most need the chance.
From Excluded
To Employed.
Every number is a person. Here are a few of them.
"I never thought a company would give me a chance. Kazi Konnect called me back when no one else did."
"They helped me with everything — not just the job. English support, transport advice, and a mentor who actually called."
"Steady income changed my family. My kids see me go to work every morning. That matters more than anything."
Maximising Potential.
Employment is
the Intervention.
Not a safety net. Not a subsidy. A job — with a pay cheque, rights, a mentor, and a future. That's the most powerful thing we offer the people we work with.
Four Steps to a
Life-Changing Job.
Outreach & Referral
We partner with Youth Justice, Jesuit Social Services, MacKillop Education, the Australian Multicultural Foundation, and community orgs to find and engage candidates.
Assessment & Induction
Workers complete compliance checks, right-to-work verification, White Card training where needed, and a thorough safety and conduct induction.
Placement
Matched to host employers across traffic control, site logistics, labouring, cleaning, and warehousing. Work starts, pay starts — no delays.
Ongoing Support
Dedicated mentors provide attendance support, wellbeing check-ins, and connections to housing, AOD, and mental health services throughout.
Where Our Workers
Excel Every Day.
We supply work-ready, inducted labour across Victoria's most in-demand sectors with full payroll, WorkCover, and compliance managed end-to-end by us.
How Fast Can I
Get Work?
From first contact to your first shift — here is our typical timeline.
Current Opportunities
Open roles across Victoria. Direct, compliant, mentor-supported placements. $0 cost to apply.
We Do This One Way.
The Right Way.
Licensed, mentor-backed, and built from the ground up around the people who need it most.
LHA Licensed
Victorian Labour Hire Licence — current, publicly verifiable. Every compliance obligation handled by us. You take on the worker, not the paperwork.
A Mentor from Day One
Not a hotline. A named person who checks in weekly, catches problems before they escalate, and connects workers to housing or wellbeing services if needed.
Real Social Value
Every placement is someone from Victoria's most excluded communities. That is verifiable — for your ESG and social procurement reporting — not just a claim.
Published Numbers
We track 12-week retention, employer satisfaction, and reoffending reduction. We publish the data every month. If it's not working, we'll say so.
Compliant by Design.
Not by Accident.
Every credential verifiable. Every obligation managed. No grey areas.
"We don't ask you to trust us. We show you the register, the ABN, the licence, the numbers. Trust is earned through transparency."
These organisations have hired through us — verified, compliant, and returned to hire again.

Kazi Konnect.
John Kuot spent years working inside Victoria's youth justice system — watching talented young people leave custody with nothing but a bus ticket. He built Kazi Konnect to close the gap between disadvantage and a fair shot at work.
"A real job changes everything — not just the income. The structure, the identity, the feeling that you belong somewhere."
