§ Why Workmate
Three ways we’re different
Our headquarters is in Brisbane, QLD. You speak to people who understand how Australian businesses actually run — your systems, your deadlines, your busy season. 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

§ Why businesses switch
Local hire vs. a workmate
Hiring locally means months of advertising, interviewing, onboarding and managing performance — plus a long-term commitment you cannot easily undo. With Workmate you skip all of that. One flat monthly fee covers everything — a trained, supervised staff member ready to work in your time zone, managed by our Brisbane team. No recruitment costs. No HR burden. No lock-in contracts.

§ Plans
Two plans. One flat monthly fee.
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.
Every plan is one flat monthly fee with no hidden extras and no lock-in. We confirm your fee on a free 15-minute call, once we know the role and the hours. 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.
