The higher you grow in your business, the more your time gets pulled in every direction. Inbox management, calendar coordination, meeting prep, reporting, stakeholder follow-ups — these tasks are important, but they should not be the ones filling your day.
WorkMate Pro helps Australian business leaders hire skilled, full-time offshore executive and admin assistants based in the Philippines. We manage the recruitment, employment, payroll, and HR — so you get the high-trust support you need without the cost or complexity of hiring locally.
An offshore executive assistant is a full-time remote professional who provides dedicated, high-level support to a business owner, director, or senior manager. They work exclusively for you, during your hours, and handle the operational and administrative responsibilities that would otherwise consume your most valuable time.
Unlike a general administrator, an executive assistant works closely with leadership. They anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, and act as a reliable extension of the person they support — with a level of trust and initiative that goes beyond task completion.
Through WorkMate Pro, your executive assistant works from a professional office in the Philippines with secure infrastructure and full employment support managed by our WA-based team.
Offshore executive and admin assistants are experienced professionals capable of managing a broad range of high-value support tasks. Common responsibilities include:
The right executive assistant does not just complete tasks — they help you stay ahead of your schedule, your commitments, and your priorities.
An offshore executive assistant delivers the most value when paired with someone whose time is genuinely stretched and whose output depends on being able to focus. This role is a strong fit for:
A founder or managing director who is involved in too many day-to-day details and needs someone they can trust to manage the operational side of their schedule and communications.
A senior manager or team leader who is juggling internal coordination, client relationships, and strategic priorities simultaneously and needs consistent support to stay on top of all three.
A professional services business — such as a financial advisory firm, consultancy, or law practice — where the principals need dedicated support without the overhead of a full-time local EA.
A growing business at the point where leadership capacity is becoming the bottleneck, and delegating operational support is the clearest path to unlocking the next stage of growth.
A full-time executive assistant hired locally in Australia typically costs between $65,000 and $85,000 per year in salary — before superannuation, leave entitlements, and other on-costs. For many SMEs, that is a significant commitment for a support role.
Through WorkMate Pro, businesses typically save between 50% and 70% on the total cost of employment. You get a dedicated, full-time professional without the hidden costs and compliance obligations that come with a local hire.
Pricing is transparent and predictable. There are no recruitment fees and no surprise charges — just a clear monthly cost that covers salary, payroll, HR, and office infrastructure.
WorkMate Pro is built specifically for Australian SMEs who want the benefits of offshore hiring without the risk or management burden. When it comes to executive support roles — where trust and reliability matter most — our model is designed to give you confidence from day one.
WA-based management — Our team understands how Australian businesses operate and what leaders expect from their support staff. You are not dealing with an overseas platform or an anonymous hiring process.
Professional office environment — Your executive assistant works from a secure, fully equipped office in the Philippines. Reliable infrastructure and a professional setting mean they show up ready to work every day.
Dedicated to you only — Your assistant works full-time for your business and no one else. This is not a shared service or a freelancer managing multiple clients at once.
Recruitment matched to your needs — We source and shortlist candidates based on your specific role requirements, working style, and industry. You choose who you hire.
Payroll and HR fully managed — Contracts, salary payments, compliance, and ongoing employee management are all handled by our team. You manage the work; we manage the employment.
Aligned to your hours — Your assistant works your Australian business hours so they are available whenever you need them throughout the day.
Most clients have a new executive assistant in place within a few weeks of their first conversation with us.
We take the time to understand your role, your working style, your priorities, and what good support looks like for you specifically. This is a 30-minute conversation with no obligation.
Our recruitment team identifies candidates with the right experience, communication skills, and professional background. We handle all screening and assessments before presenting a curated shortlist for your review.
You meet the shortlisted candidates and choose who you want to work with. We coordinate the interviews and support you through the process.
Once you have made your selection, we manage the employment contract, payroll setup, and office onboarding. Your assistant starts work prepared and ready.
From day one, your offshore executive assistant works directly with you using your preferred communication tools — email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or anything else your business already uses.
An executive assistant works at a higher level of responsibility and trust. While both roles handle administrative tasks, an executive assistant is focused specifically on supporting leadership — managing priorities, communications, and projects on behalf of a senior individual, rather than general business operations.
Trust is built the same way it is with any team member — through clear expectations, consistent communication, and giving the person the opportunity to demonstrate their capability. Most of our clients find that within the first few weeks, their offshore assistant becomes an indispensable part of how they work. We also support you through the onboarding process to set the relationship up well from the start.
Our candidates are experienced with a broad range of professional tools including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Asana, Trello, HubSpot, Salesforce, and various CRM and project management platforms. Specific software requirements can be built into the recruitment brief.
Yes. Our candidates are selected for strong written and verbal English communication skills. For executive support roles in particular, we screen carefully for professionalism, clarity, and the ability to represent you well in correspondence and stakeholder communication.
If a performance issue arises, we work with you to address it. If a replacement is needed, we manage that process on your behalf. Our priority is making sure you have the right person in the role for the long term.
If you are spending hours each week on tasks that someone else could be handling, an offshore executive assistant through WorkMate Pro is one of the most direct investments you can make in your own capacity and your business growth.

Straight answers to help you hire, onboard, and manage an offshore Executive or Admin Assistant with confidence.
An offshore Executive or Admin Assistant can take ownership of time-consuming operational tasks like calendar and appointment scheduling, email inbox management and correspondence, organising data and preparing reports, research and insights, light marketing/social media support, and project coordination—so you can focus on higher-value work.
In simple terms: Admin Assistants keep the operations moving (scheduling, inboxes, documentation, reporting). Executive Assistants are often more proactive and strategic—supporting leadership with prioritisation, stakeholder coordination, meeting preparation, follow-ups, and keeping projects on track.
Many employers hire Philippines-based assistants because the talent pool is known for strong English communication, reliability, and a proactive work ethic—making it easier to integrate into business workflows and culture.
The fastest onboarding happens when you provide: (1) a prioritised task list, (2) templates/examples of “done right”, (3) access to your tools (email/calendar/CRM/task board), and (4) a simple escalation path for questions. Start with repeatable tasks first, then expand responsibilities once your assistant is confident in your workflows.
Most assistants can adapt to your existing stack (e.g., Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, CRMs, project tools, shared drives, and communication platforms). If you have a specific system, list it upfront so matching prioritises that experience.
Employers typically manage this with role-based access (least privilege), password management tools, documented approval steps for sensitive actions, and clear policies for customer data, invoices, and executive comms. Start with limited access and expand it as trust and processes mature.
The easiest system is a task board + weekly review. Many employers track: tasks completed, turnaround time, calendar accuracy, follow-ups completed, inbox response times, and project milestones. Keep KPIs simple and review them regularly to maintain consistency.
Part-time is ideal if you mainly need inbox + scheduling + admin upkeep. Full-time suits busy founders/executives, multiple stakeholders, heavy project coordination, or when you want your assistant to become a core part of operations. Many employers start part-time and scale up as processes stabilise.
For many businesses, yes—offshore hiring can reduce overheads while maintaining reliable support, allowing you to grow capacity without the costs of a traditional in-house hire.
Book a call and share your priorities (what you want off your plate), tools used, preferred working hours, and the outcomes you care about most. From there, you’ll be guided through matching and onboarding so you can start delegating quickly.
