Perth’s labour market is one of Australia’s tightest, driven by competition from resources sector wages. Webco Talent builds dedicated offshore teams for Perth businesses in the Philippines and Sri Lanka at 40–70% less than local hire — with AWST-aligned working hours, Australian-law contracts, and AUD billing.

Offshore staffing means hiring full-time, dedicated employees in the Philippines or Sri Lanka who work exclusively for your Perth business — aligned to AWST hours, using your systems and processes. Unlike freelancers or project-based outsourcing, Webco’s offshore staff are your permanent team members: vetted, contracted under Australian law, and managed by Webco’s AU-based operations team.
Perth businesses face a unique challenge: the resources sector drives up local wages across all industries, making even admin and support roles expensive. Offshore staffing lets Perth SMEs compete for talent on a global pool, at $2,500–$3,500/month, without the FIFO-equivalent local costs. Webco has supported 400+ Australian businesses since 2008 and serves Perth clients across AWST business hours.
The true cost of a local Perth 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.
| Role | Local Perth Cost | Webco Offshore Cost (AUD) | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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% |
| Software Developer | $95,000–$130,000/yr + oncosts | From $3,500/mo | ~60% |
| Digital Marketing Specialist | $70,000–$90,000/yr + oncosts | From $3,200/mo | ~55% |
| Customer Support Agent | $55,000–$70,000/yr + oncosts | From $2,500/mo | ~65% |
