4.9/5Client rating

Average rating from our clients.

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.

We're really happy with Je's work. Admin, graphics and socials are all handled now, so I'm not juggling everything myself and can put my energy into growing Your Clubroom.
Jayden CassFounder, Your Clubroom · 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.

Running Perth Happenings means juggling events, partners and a constant stream of emails. April 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, and the admin behind every listing never stops. Our EA looks after our CRM, appraisal paperwork and vendor updates, so our agents can spend more time with clients. Virtual Workmate made the whole process easy.
Peter DiamantidisPrincipal, Ray White United · Sydney
I was sceptical about hiring offshore, but Virtual Workmate changed my mind. My EA 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.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can't see your question here? Ask us anything on your call.

Take the 60-second survey
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.

How do you choose your EAs?

We recruit from our own community of 120,000+ Filipino remote professionals. Every Workmate then goes through English, skills and personality assessments, live interviews with our team, and background and reference checks. Only a small percentage of applicants make it through.

What does it cost?

A full-time Executive Assistant is $2,890 a month + GST, plus a one-off $997 setup fee + GST. The setup fee covers recruitment, matching and your 10-day handover. The monthly fee covers your dedicated EA, payroll and ongoing management. If you change your mind within 14 days of signing your agreement, the setup fee is fully refunded.

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. In your Buy Back Session, we'll map out exactly what to hand off first.

Ray, founder of Virtual Workmate
Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Ray.

I started Virtual Workmate five years ago after seeing firsthand how much of a business owner's time gets swallowed up by work they shouldn't still be doing themselves.

I knew there were incredibly capable people in the Philippines who could take that work off their plate. The challenge was never finding someone. It was finding the right person, setting them up properly, and making sure the relationship actually worked long term.

Since then, we've built a community of more than 120,000 Filipino remote professionals and helped over 150 Australian businesses find their Workmate.

Along the way, I learned that hiring a great person is only half the job. The handover, communication and ongoing support are what make the difference. That's why every Workmate goes through our 10-day handover, with our team staying involved well beyond their first day.

Outside the business, I'm a former MMA champion. The biggest lesson the cage taught me is 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.
