Three reasons Australian businesses hire Filipino virtual assistants
The Philippines has the highest English score in Asia outside Singapore. Australian business owners get skilled help at a fraction of the cost of a local hire, without timezone gaps or accent issues.
AEST · AEDT · AWST Overlap
Your VA logs on during your business day. We schedule a 4-to-8 hour overlap so you get same-day replies, live Slack, and real-time calls.
Fluent, Neutral English
The Philippines ranks 2nd in Asia for English skill (EF EPI). Our VAs are trained on Australian business norms, emails, customer support, and Slack that don’t feel scripted.
No On-Costs On Top
An Australian hire costs more than their salary line: superannuation on top, payroll tax once you cross your state threshold, plus equipment and desk space. Your VA is our employee in the Philippines, so none of that lands on you.
No super. No PAYG. No Single Touch Payroll.
Your VA is our employee in the Philippines, not in Australia. So you don’t pay super (Australia’s compulsory retirement contribution). No PAYG withholding. No Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting. You pay one monthly invoice in Australian dollars, treated as a normal overseas service.

Your VA’s day, in your timezone
Manila is only 2 hours behind AEST, so this is an ordinary daytime shift at both ends with no night work involved. Perth is the easy case: AWST and Manila are both UTC+8, so your VA works exactly your hours.

Hiring a Filipino virtual assistant in Australia: common questions
Do I owe superannuation? +
No. Super is for people working in Australia. Your VA works from the Philippines and is our employee, they’re not yours, so there’s no super to pay.
What about Single Touch Payroll (STP)? +
STP is for paying your own employees and some Australian contractors. Paying us is a normal supplier expense, like paying any overseas service.
Do Fair Work rules apply? +
No. Fair Work covers work done in Australia. Your VA works from the Philippines under their local employment rules. We handle their leave, holidays, and benefits.
Can my VA work Australian business hours? +
Yes. Your VA overlaps with AEST/AEDT or AWST hours. Same-day responses, real-time Slack, live calls during your business day.
What if my VA isn’t a fit? +
You get a 110-day replacement guarantee. We re-match you with someone better, at no extra cost.
