Our team is in Port Moresby – not servicing PNG from Australia.<\/h2>\n

If you’ve ever tried to manage PNG operations from overseas, you already know what Friday afternoon at Port Moresby immigration feels like when you’re not in the room.<\/p>\n

We’re in the room. Our Port Moresby team is a registered PNG company with a licensed recruitment operation. We’re an NCDC client, an AIFFP client, and the publisher of PNG’s definitive annual Salary Guide. Not because we’re trying to build a list of credentials – because we’ve been operating here for 18 years and the relationships come with the territory.\u2028<\/p>\n

The consultants are attentive, knowledgeable and I'd highly recommend approaching them for your next role.<\/p>\n \"Alex\n

Alex<\/h4>\n \n Talent Acquisition Lead, Transport, \n

The Peopleconnexion Team has gone to great lengths to find technical talent in a very difficult Australian skills market. I am impressed with their efficiency and drive and will definitely consider them for future recruiting needs.<\/h3>\n

Mining Manager<\/h4>\n \n Bowen Coking Coal, \n

I've found their customer services to be of a high standard and they have a strong network of clients from varied industries.<\/h3>\n

My experience with the team members has been highly professional, responsive and easily reachable when needed. I'd like to call out Gima Tavaperry who lives these values… Gima is a real people person and it has been a great pleasure working with her!<\/p>\n

Common questions about working in PNG.<\/h2>\n \n Talk to Our PNG Team\n <\/a>\n \n Do I need to establish a local entity to hire staff in PNG? \n <\/button>\n

No. Peopleconnexion’s Employer of Record service allows you to employ staff in PNG without setting up a local company. We become the employer of record – handling contracts, payroll, tax, and compliance – while you retain day-to-day management.<\/p>\n \n How long does it take to get a work permit in PNG? \n <\/button>\n

Processing times vary depending on role type and applicant nationality, but our Port Moresby team manages the full process from application through to approval. Having a team on the ground – rather than managing remotely – significantly reduces delays.<\/p>\n \n Can you pay contractors in USD in PNG? \n <\/button>\n

Yes. We have the capability to pay contractors in USD – structured correctly to meet PNG compliance obligations. This is a differentiator that matters for international operators and is not available from all providers.<\/p>\n \n Do you only recruit from Australia for PNG roles? \n <\/button>\n

No. The majority of our international PNG placements come from outside Australia – across Africa, Asia, Europe, and beyond. Our Brisbane and Gold Coast teams specialise in expat recruitment and work alongside our Port Moresby team to place candidates on the ground.<\/p>\n \n What industries do you recruit for in PNG? \n <\/button>\n

Mining and resources, energy and LNG, financial services and banking, infrastructure and construction, government and public sector, ICT, FMCG, healthcare, automotive, and executive and C-suite roles. We recruit across every major sector active in the PNG market.<\/p>\n \n Talk to Our PNG Team\n <\/a>\n<\/section>\n\n
