Why Offshored
Offshoring solutions for Australian businesses, without the headaches
Offshored provides offshoring solutions built on one dedicated person per role, not a shared call centre and not a freelancer marketplace. Your bookkeeper, administrator, estimator or drafter works only for your business, inside your systems and your hours, and reports to you. The employment side is handled in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC, with an Australian company, Offshored Pty Ltd, accountable to you under an Australian agreement. The published rate starts at A$1,900 a month (Offshored pricing page, October 2026), with no recruitment fee and no lock-in contract.
Dedicated, not shared
Your staff work only for you and report to you, inside your tools, your processes and your culture, full time.
Compliance handled
Philippine employment, payroll and statutory contributions managed end to end, so you stay covered without an offshore entity.
In your time zone
Teams aligned to Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Manila or Dubai, wherever your working day actually happens.
Cut cost, not quality
Reduce staffing cost substantially while keeping the standard of work exactly where you need it.

The people
Offshore staffing services in the Philippines: real professionals, properly employed
Offshored's offshore staffing services are delivered from the Philippines by people who are properly employed, not freelancers and not a shared floor. Each team member is employed by Australian Pathways OPC, a registered Philippine company, with payroll, statutory contributions and private health insurance handled for you. They work from the Offshored office in BGC, Manila, or from home, depending on the role and your requirements. Since 2023 Offshored has recruited more than 50 team members for Australian businesses (Offshored trust block, this page, October 2026). See the Manila office and the team behind Offshored.

A normal working day
Optional capability
Need someone who can run your AI tools too?
Most clients start with a straightforward dedicated team member. If you've bought AI tooling and nobody in your business has time to run it, we can place a certified AI Operator instead: the same dedicated person, additionally assessed against a published standard for working with AI inside your systems.
Add-on, not a requirement
The Offshored AI Operator Standard
A published document covering six assessed domains, three tiers, the assessment and moderation process, the evidence pack you receive with every shortlist, and the warranty terms. The heaviest-weighted domain is output verification, because unverified AI output is the largest source of client harm.
Your software, your licencesWe supply no software and resell no AI credits. Licences, tokens and data stay on your accounts.
Governed, not shadowApproved tool list, human checkpoints, logged actions inside your own systems.
30-day proficiency warrantyNot at the agreed competency by day 30? We replace at no cost.
Measured monthlyBaseline taken before anything changes, then reported against every month.
Tiers: AI Operator from A$2,450 per month · Senior AI Operator A$3,000 to A$3,600 · AI Pod Lead A$4,500 to A$5,500. Ask for the Standard on the call and we'll send it. Read the full AI Operator role page.

Why owners trust us with it
Why owners choose Offshored over other offshoring companies
When owners compare offshoring companies, the questions that decide it are who they contract with, who employs the person and what happens when they want to stop. With Offshored, your agreement, invoice and recourse sit with Offshored Pty Ltd, ABN 84 664 866 433, registered in Sydney, and every team member is employed by Australian Pathways OPC under Offshored's own management rather than placed by a broker. There is no lock-in contract: the Offshored Terms of Service require 30 days' notice to end an engagement (offshored.net/terms, October 2026).
An Australian company, not an overseas agent
Offshored Pty Ltd, ABN 84 664 866 433, registered in Sydney. Your agreement, your invoice and your recourse are all Australian.
Our own team in Manila, not a labour broker
Suite 706, HSS Corporate Building, BGC, Manila is our base. Most team members work from home, which widens the talent pool and suits people who report directly to you, and office seats are there when a role calls for one. Everyone is employed by Australian Pathways OPC under our own management.
Three years, 18+ Australian businesses
Over 50 people recruited, employed and supported: construction, trades, property, architecture, bookkeeping and professional practices. Meet the founders.
No lock-in, ever
We keep clients by performing, not by contract clauses. Give notice and we wind it down and you keep the documentation and the processes.

Questions

Australian Pathways OPC employs them, you direct them. Your team member is legally employed in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC, Offshored's Philippine employing entity, which handles payroll, statutory contributions, benefits and compliance, so you get all of this without setting up an offshore entity yourself. Day to day, they work solely for you and report to you. You set the work, the priorities and the standard, just as you would with someone in your own office. You get one monthly invoice and no employment paperwork. Read is offshoring legal in Australia? for the Fair Work, Privacy Act and tax detail.
You stop, and there's no exit fee or lock-in. If someone isn't the right fit we replace them at our cost, not yours, including leave cover and permanent backfill from our existing pool.
Never. They work only for you, during your business hours, inside your systems, reporting to you, exactly like a local employee, minus the recruitment, the payroll and the overheads.
The employment side. We recruit and shortlist, then your team member is legally employed by Australian Pathways OPC, our Philippine entity, which runs payroll, statutory contributions, benefits, leave entitlements and local compliance. We also provide the office, the equipment and the IT. What we don't do is sit between you and your team member. The work, the priorities and the day-to-day direction are yours.
Not at all, and most clients don't start there. AI Operators are an option for businesses that already own tooling and need someone competent to run it. If you just need a good bookkeeper or admin who does the job properly, that's the core of what we do.
Your team member works inside your systems with your access controls. We don't copy your data elsewhere and you can revoke access instantly. They sign confidentiality agreements under their employment contract with Australian Pathways OPC.
The free call happens this week (here is how hiring offshore staff works, step by step). Shortlisting takes three to four days. We vet the candidates, then you conduct the final interview and choose. Typically someone is working with you within one to two weeks.
