§ Why Workmate
Three ways we’re different
Our headquarters is in Brisbane, QLD. You speak to people who understand Australian business: GST, BAS, super, the lot. Phone us. Meet for coffee. Whatever you need.
Every client gets a single Australian contact for onboarding, questions, and ongoing support. They learn your workflow, hold the line, and only step out of the way when you ask.
Every staff member is recruited, trained, and supervised by our delivery partner in Kochi. If your workmate isn’t the right fit, we replace them within fourteen days. No charge, no friction.
§ How it works
Up & running in days, not months
Step one
Call or email our Brisbane office. We'll talk through the tasks taking up your evenings — payroll, invoicing, inbox, you name it.
Typically: 15-minute discovery call
Step two
We assign you a dedicated Australian account manager. They're your single point of contact for the entire engagement, from kickoff to performance reviews.
Same-day intro · Brisbane based
Step three
We source, screen, and onboard a trained remote staff member from Kochi, matched to your tasks and tools. They start work in 5–10 business days.
Background-checked · NDA-signed
Step four
Your workmate handles the tasks. You focus on growth. We handle the HR, training and supervision in between. Cancel any month with 30 days notice.
Month-to-month · No lock-in

§ Savings calculator
Per workmate / per year
You save (per year)
$47,000+
A local full-time admin officer in Brisbane runs north of $65,000 a year once you load up super, payroll tax, leave, equipment and overheads. A Workmate full-timer at $1,500/month is $18,000. The maths is not subtle.
↳ Indicative only. Real saving varies by role, location & on-costs.
§ Pricing
Two plans. One honest price each.
For sole traders and small operators who need help two or three mornings a week — payroll, books, inbox.
For growing firms ready to hand off the back office entirely. One person, every business day, your hours.
Need more than one workmate, or want to discuss a specialist role? Talk to us.
Ready when you are
Fifteen minutes on a call. We’ll figure out which tasks to hand over first, what plan fits, and when your workmate can start. No quotes to sign, no follow-up funnels.
