Our Vision
Daniel Phillips
Managing Director
Established in 2011, from humble beginnings but with a clear vision and focus, by ex-rugby league athlete Daniel Phillips, New Start was launched as a recruitment and labour hire company to create employment opportunities for indigenous people and communities.
​
"New Start works from the basis that every effort should be made to ensure indigenous people are not subject to continuing chronic under-representation in Australia's labour market, and has committed itself to making a significant difference in this vital area of economic and social equality."
​
"Our goal is to leave a sustained positive footprint in the communities in which we operate by improving indigenous social, health and employment outcomes. And, we want to be the supplier of choice for our clients, and the employer of choice for our staff, adopting a holistic approach to an inspired future,"
