What is a conveyancing virtual assistant?

A conveyancing virtual assistant is a remote paralegal-admin professional who handles the property-transaction workload of an Australian conveyancer or law firm — PEXA workspace preparation, title and SRO lodgement, search ordering, settlement coordination, and critical-date tracking — working inside your practice management system during Australian business hours. Webco Talent’s offshore conveyancing assistants cost from AUD $2,500 per month full-time, compared with $4,500–$8,000 per month for an equivalent local hire once superannuation, payroll tax, leave and office overhead are included.

Conveyancing firms, property lawyers, and settlement agents across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide use offshore assistants to clear the administrative load that keeps licensed conveyancers off billable, client-facing work.

How much does a conveyancing VA cost in Australia in 2026?

An in-house Australian conveyancing assistant costs $4,500–$8,000 per month once you factor in superannuation, payroll tax, leave loading, equipment and office space. A managed offshore assistant through Webco costs from $2,500/month all-inclusive — a saving of 50–70%, with no employer obligations and a single monthly AUD invoice.

What can a conveyancing assistant do for your firm?

Webco’s offshore conveyancing professionals are trained on Australian property workflows and the practice-management platforms your firm already runs. Here’s what Australian conveyancers most commonly delegate:

PEXA & Settlements

Documentation

Matter Administration

Software your assistant can work in: PEXA, LEAP, Smokeball, Actionstep, triConvey, InfoTrack, SRO Online, and Realtime Conveyancer. Each assistant works as a named user under your subscriber account, with access levels you control — never a shared login.

Data security, confidentiality & compliance

Property files contain sensitive client and financial data. Every Webco conveyancing assistant works under controls built for regulated Australian legal work:

Note: an offshore assistant prepares and lodges under your direction — final legal sign-off, signing of documents, and provision of legal advice remain with your licensed Australian conveyancer or solicitor. This keeps your firm compliant while offloading the administrative burden.

Offshore vs local vs freelance: what suits a conveyancing firm?

Here’s how a managed offshore conveyancing assistant compares to the alternatives Australian firms weigh up:

Verdict: use a freelancer for one-off overflow; hire locally if the role must be physically in-office. For ongoing, dedicated matter support at a predictable cost, a managed offshore assistant delivers the best balance of price, reliability and compliance.

Conveyancing VA FAQs

What Australian conveyancers ask before hiring an offshore assistant.

How much does it cost to hire a conveyancing virtual assistant in Australia?

A full-time offshore conveyancing assistant through Webco Talent costs from AUD $2,500 per month, all-inclusive. Paralegal-tier assistants (PEXA lodgement, Form 1, compliance) start from $3,200/mo and senior settlements specialists from $3,800/mo. A local Australian hire typically costs $4,500–$8,000/month once super, payroll tax, leave and overhead are included — so offshore saves 50–70%.

Yes. Our candidates have prior hands-on experience with Australian property workflows, terminology and platforms including PEXA, SRO, InfoTrack, LEAP, Smokeball and Actionstep. During onboarding they are oriented specifically to your firm’s processes and state jurisdiction (VIC, NSW, QLD, WA).

Yes. Your assistant is set up as a named user under your PEXA subscriber account, with access levels you control — never a shared login. They can prepare and manage the PEXA workspace, complete lodgements, upload adjustments, verify stamp duty and balance the workspace. Final authorisation and signing stay with your licensed conveyancer.

From your initial brief to your assistant’s first day: 10 to 14 business days. We deliver pre-vetted CVs within 10 days, you interview the shortlist, and onboarding completes within a further 3–4 days — roughly half the typical 4–8 week local recruitment timeline.

Yes. All Webco assistants align to your nominated Australian time zone (AEST, AEDT, ACST or AWST). Our Manila hub is 2–3 hours behind AEST and Colombo 4.5–5.5 hours behind, so real-time collaboration during your business day is standard.

Every assistant signs an Australian-law NDA and IP assignment agreement before commencing. They work in a secure managed IT environment with disk encryption, password vaults and role-based access controls. For sensitive matters we can add screen-recording prevention and data-loss-prevention tooling.

Neither — the assistant is employed by Webco Talent in their home country. They are not your direct employee or PAYG worker under Australian law, so no super, payroll tax, PAYG withholding or Fair Work obligations apply. You receive a single monthly invoice in AUD and direct the day-to-day work.

Provision of legal advice, final legal sign-off, signing of documents, and any task requiring an Australian practising certificate or physical presence should remain with your licensed conveyancer or solicitor. Your assistant prepares, lodges and administers under your direction.

Yes. Part-time engagements start from $1,400/month. Start with one assistant and add matter-admin, paralegal, bookkeeping or marketing roles as your firm grows — all month-to-month with 30 days’ notice, no lock-in.

Webco offers a free replacement guarantee within the first 90 days. If your assistant isn’t performing or isn’t the right fit, we re-source and onboard a replacement at no additional cost. Beyond 90 days we still re-source on request as part of our ongoing service.
