Top quality

I called needing answers for just one question. They were polite, knowledgable, and were happy to give the information without trying to funnel me into their paid services.

I truly appreciated the service and highly recommend, I can only imagine how great their professional paid service is. If I need to use a company for this service in the future, they will definitely have my business.

Great service

So far the service has been great, I completed by Review meeting with Scott and he asked all the necessary questions to understand my business and later on in the day we had another call to go over the documents and where to find them.

Very clear instructions and good start to the relationship, looking forward to having HR support for myself and my team as we grow.

Friendly and helpful

We’re a holiday park in Victoria and met with Lachlan today to go through a whole range of health and safety requirements. He was extremely helpful in talking us through everything and making sure we understood what we need to be aware of and keep up to date with.

He also took the time to walk us through the BrightHR portal, which was really helpful and made the whole process much easier to understand.

Lachlan was professional, friendly and really easy to deal with. We really appreciated his time and the way he explained everything so clearly. Would definitely recommend Lachlan and the team!

Great experience overall

Great experience overall. The team who assisted us from providing various suitable dates for multiple locations, through to the team who assisted on the day. The trainers were professional and knowledgeable, and able to communicate to the various team members at the training session. The session catered to the needs of the specific participants and their roles; it was a collaborative and engaging session where participants felt comfortable to share their thoughts also. Fantastic experience.

Peninsula is Vital for our business

Peninsula have managed to help us through a disciplinary action and on-boarding of new employees in a quick and professional matter. Without Peninsula we would be running blind and likely non compliant with our obligations.
The staff are well equipped with the knowledge to talk you through any scenario and the response times are great.
