Offshore staff, fully managed — you manage the work day to day.
You don't set up a Philippines entity, run local payroll, or interpret Filipino labour law. You don't chase recruiters or manage HR offshore. You tell us what you need, we handle everything behind it, and you manage the day-to-day like any local team member. Here's exactly how that works.
Hire the way that suits your business — not a fixed package.
Whether you need one person a few hours a week or a whole team full-time, the engagement flexes to you. Every model is fully managed and includes the same all-in support.
Full-Time
A dedicated team member working your full business hours — embedded like an in-house hire, just offshore.
Best for ongoing, high-volume workloadsPart-Time
Set hours per week or per day — perfect when the workload is real but doesn't yet justify a full-time seat.
Best for steady but lighter workloadsCasual / As-Needed
Flex up and down based on demand. Pay for the capacity you use during busy periods without a permanent commitment.
Best for seasonal or unpredictable demandLeave Cover
Cover maternity, long-service or extended leave without losing momentum. Trained to step in and keep things running.
Best for covering staff absencesSpecific Tasks / Projects
Have a defined deliverable — a backlog clean-up, an audit prep, a website build? Engage us for the task, not a permanent seat.
Best for one-off or project workA Whole Team
Need multiple roles at once — say, an NDIS admin, a bookkeeper and a VA? We build and manage the whole team under one engagement.
Best for scaling fast across functionsOne rate. Everything behind the staff member — handled.
The hourly rate you're quoted isn't just "a person". It bundles the entire offshore operation — recruitment, training, payroll, HR, equipment, security and dual-country support. No hidden setup fees, no separate management charges.

No pressure. No sales pitch. Just answers to your questions.
The questions every client asks before starting.
Still wondering about something? These cover the practical "how does it actually work" questions.
How quickly can someone start?
It depends on the role. For common roles (bookkeeping, general admin, NDIS admin) we often have suitable candidates ready within days. For specialised or senior roles, allow 1–2 weeks for proper matching. We never rush a placement just to fill a seat — the right fit matters more than speed.
What hours do they work? Will they overlap with Australia?
The Philippines is only 2 hours behind AEST (and aligned with AWST), so there's substantial working-hour overlap with every Australian time zone. Your staff member works hours that suit your business — full Australian business hours are completely standard.
Who manages them day-to-day?
You do — exactly like a local team member. You assign work, set priorities, and communicate directly via your normal tools (email, chat, video, shared software). Behind the scenes, Josa's team handles HR, payroll, wellbeing and performance support, so you're never doing offshore admin.
What if it's not working out?
First, the 2-week trial means you confirm fit before committing. After that, if issues arise, raise them with Richard — most are coaching or expectation-setting matters we resolve quickly. If a replacement is genuinely needed, we arrange cover. You're never stuck with a bad fit.
Can I scale up or down later?
Yes — that flexibility is the whole point. Add hours, add roles, or build a full team as you grow. If you need to scale back, we work with you on reasonable notice. The engagement flexes to your business, not the other way around.
How am I billed?
One simple monthly invoice in Australian dollars, covering the full all-inclusive rate. No foreign exchange, no Philippines transfers, no surprise line items, no separate management fees. What we quote is what you pay.
Is my data and IP protected?
Yes. Every staff member signs confidentiality, IP and data-protection agreements before onboarding. Workplaces are secured, hardware is monitored, external-device saving is disabled, and we work to your security protocols. See the Security & Data Protection section on our About page for the full detail.
Do I need to set up anything in the Philippines?
No. You don't register an entity, run local payroll, or deal with Filipino labour law. Your staff member is employed by MJL — we handle all of it. You have no Australian Fair Work, superannuation or PAYG obligations for them either.
Tell us the role. We'll handle everything behind it.
We'll work out which engagement model fits, which team is right, and what it would cost — with a 2-week trial so you can prove it before you commit.
