- Hire Top Offshore Talent – IT, Accounting, Admin & More
Brisbane is in a growth phase but Queensland’s tight labour market means local hiring is slow and expensive. Webco Talent builds dedicated offshore teams for Brisbane businesses in the Philippines and Sri Lanka at 40–70% less than local cost, with Australian-law contracts, AUD billing, and AU-hours account management.
Offshore staffing means hiring full-time, dedicated employees in the Philippines or Sri Lanka who work exclusively for your Brisbane business — your hours, your systems, your processes. Unlike freelance platforms or outsourcing agencies, Webco’s offshore staff are your people: pre-vetted, contracted under Australian law, and supported locally by Webco’s Australian management team.
Brisbane businesses from Spring Hill accounting firms to Fortitude Valley tech startups use offshore staffing to scale headcount without inflating local salary costs. With QLD labour costs rising and skilled local candidates scarce, offshore staffing has become the growth lever for hundreds of Brisbane SMEs. Webco has supported 400+ Australian businesses since 2008, placing roles from executive assistant to full software development teams, starting at AUD $2,500/month.
The true cost of a local Brisbane hire includes salary, 11.5% superannuation, payroll tax, equipment, and office overhead. Offshore staffing through Webco eliminates every oncost — you pay one AUD invoice per month.

|---|---|---|---|
| Admin / VA (full-time) | $65,000–$80,000/yr + oncosts | From $2,500/mo | ~60% |
| Bookkeeper (Xero/MYOB) | $65,000–$85,000/yr + oncosts | From $3,200/mo | ~55% |
