Don't just take our word for it.
Business owners across Australia on working with Virtual Workmate.
Myrene has been with us for years, and I honestly can't imagine the clinic without her. She keeps our bookings, patient follow-ups and admin running smoothly, so I can give my full attention to my patients.
Gokce OncuFounder & Head Chiropractor, Oncu Movement · Sydney
Property development never slows down, and neither did the admin. Nikki now runs my inbox, calendar and consultant follow-ups, so I can stay focused on sites and deals. She's switched on, reliable and a genuine part of the team.
Joe MacriFounder & Director, Joe Macri Property · Sydney
I hired Rish as an EA, but it didn't take long to realise she could handle a lot more. Now she runs high-level projects on her own, start to finish. That's freed me up to focus on growing Ritual Hockey, and it's led to more opportunities for the business.
Nathaniel NelsonOwner, Ritual Hockey · Melbourne
Christian keeps our projects moving. He handles scheduling, supplier and consultant emails, and the reporting that used to eat into my evenings. Having someone that organised in my corner has made a real difference to how we run.
Justin MurphyOxmar Properties · Brisbane
Running Perth Happenings means juggling events, partners and a constant stream of emails. Jes took all of that off my plate. She's organised, proactive and always one step ahead, and I finally have time to focus on growing the business.
Jacquie AshbyOwner, Perth Happenings · Perth
My time is best spent with clients, not buried in admin. Angel manages my calendar, reports and follow-ups with real care. The handover was seamless, and the support from the Virtual Workmate team has been excellent.
Karla McNeiceFounder & Property Development Advisor, 3sixtyco · Sydney
Real estate moves fast. Aaron, April and Gijann from Virtual Workmate supported our team, so our agents could spend more of their time with clients. They made the whole process easy.
Peter DiamantidisPrincipal, Ray White United · Sydney
I was sceptical about hiring offshore, but Virtual Workmate changed my mind. Sofia keeps my CRM up to date, manages my diary and follows up every lead, so nothing slips through the cracks. One of the best decisions I've made for the business.
Irving GunawanFounder, Irving G Property · Sydney
As a buyers agent, speed matters. Kayla handles my research, property reports and client updates, so I can spend my time finding the right properties for my clients. She's quick, detail-oriented and a real asset to the business.

Questions, answered.
Can't see your question here? Ask us anything on your call.
Where are your EAs based?
In the Philippines, which is only 2 to 3 hours behind the east coast of Australia. Your EA works during your business hours, in real time, without night shifts.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No long-term lock-in. You can cancel with 30 days' notice.
What if my EA isn't the right fit?
We'll rematch you at no cost. Most issues are sorted in the first couple of weeks, which is exactly what the 10-day handover is designed to catch.
How quickly can I start?
Most clients meet their shortlisted EAs within 5 business days. After that, the 10-day handover gets your EA running your week.
Is my data safe?
Every Workmate signs a confidentiality agreement, and access to your accounts is shared through a password manager, so you stay in control and can remove access at any time.
Do I have to manage my EA?
Not like an employee. We handle recruitment, payroll, training and performance. You get a daily handover from your EA, a weekly check-in, and a monthly review with our team.
What will my EA actually do?
Whatever keeps your week running: inbox and calendar, travel, CRM updates, documents, client follow-ups and day-to-day admin. Not sure what to hand off yet? That's normal. In your Buy Back Session, we go through your week with you and pick what to hand off first.
Hi, I'm Ray.
I started Virtual Workmate five years ago after seeing how much of a business owner's time gets swallowed up by work they shouldn't still be doing themselves.
There are incredibly capable people in the Philippines who can take that work off your plate. The hard part was never finding someone. It's finding the right person and setting them up properly, which is why our team stays involved long after day one.
Outside the business, I'm a former MMA champion. The cage taught me that preparation beats talent, and it's exactly how we approach every handover.
For me, Virtual Workmate is about something simple: giving business owners their time back, while creating great long-term careers for talented people in the Philippines.
