APS commenced operations in the western suburbs of Melbourne in 1993, initially providing industrial labour hire to a client base consisting predominantly of manufacturing and distribution operations.

With early success, a second office soon followed in the north. Along with geographical growth, customer demands also drove the introduction of new business divisions in the early years. A transport division, commercial temporary and permanent division were all started from the ground up in our new South Melbourne Head Office.

APS continued to have strong growth and success by providing a level of service and quality which was better than our competitors. APS was the first agency to provide true 24 hour service. In 1996, APS opened a fourth Melbourne office servicing the south eastern suburbs.

The vision grew and in 1998, the first office in NSW was opened in Parramatta to capitalise on the large industrial base situated to the west of Sydney. APS was now able to service the NSW offices of our Melbourne based clients and explore the potential that this state offered. This success led to the further expansion of the organisation with the Brisbane office opening in 2002, followed by the Adelaide office in 2005.

In 1998 APS was the first agency accredited under the Victorian WorkCover Authority SafetyMAP and today is working towards obtaining certification to AS4801-2001 to achieve OHS best practice standards across all facets of our business.

With nine offices across the nation and plans for further expansion, APS continues to develop with exceptional service always at the forefront of our vision.

In 2006 APS announced it has entered into a strategic alliance with Integrity Staffing in Western Australia. The move is the final piece of the puzzle for the transformation of a Victorian based business into a labour hire company with a National presence in each mainland state of Australia.

Integrity Staffing conducts their business in line with the same core values as APS and will provide a tailored APS service to clients serviced in other states.
