Offshored dedicated staff cost from A$1,900 per month.
That is one all-inclusive monthly fee per full-time team member, invoiced in advance, with no recruitment fee and no lock-in contract. The bands below are the ranges we quote to Australian businesses today; the exact figure depends on the role and the candidate's experience.

The same bands appear on each role description on the roles page. The fee you are quoted stays fixed unless you agree a salary increase for your team member at their annual review, and any agreed increase takes effect on 1 January.
The fee is designed so that the only other cost of an offshore team member is your own systems. Everything an Australian employer would normally pay for separately is inside the one figure.
Not applicable at all: because your team member is not your employee under Australian law, superannuation guarantee, PAYG withholding, payroll tax and workers compensation do not apply to them. Confirm your own position with your accountant.
You should never feel trapped by a staffing arrangement. These are the commercial terms every Offshored client is on; the full version is on the Terms of Service page.
You pay month to month. There is no minimum term, no 12-month agreement and no exit fee. Recruitment is free until you choose a candidate and sign a Memorandum of Understanding.
To end the arrangement, give 30 days' notice. If notice falls part-way through a month, the following invoice is prorated to the remaining notice period. Nothing else is owed.
Invoices go out on the 15th of each month and are due on the 30th, covering the following month. A start date other than the 1st is prorated, so you only ever pay for days worked.
If a team member leaves or does not work out, we recruit their replacement from our Manila candidate pool and present candidates before the handover date. There is no re-recruitment fee.
Your fee does not move mid-year. Team members can make a case for a salary increase at their annual review; any agreed increase takes effect on 1 January and the fee adjusts by that amount.
Paid leave is 10 days in years one and two, 15 days in years three and four, and 20 days from year five, plus Philippine public holidays. Staff work Australian public holidays unless the day is also a Philippine holiday.
Enter the annual salary you would pay for the role in Australia and pick the band it belongs to. The calculator adds the 12% superannuation guarantee and compares the result with the Offshored band.
At that salary an offshore hire in this band would not save you money. Pick the band that matches the role, or book a call and we will give you a real number.
Assumptions: superannuation guarantee at 12% of salary (the rate from 1 July 2025). The Australian figure leaves out payroll tax, leave loading, workers compensation, recruitment fees, equipment and office space, so the real saving is usually larger. The Offshored figure is the full monthly fee for the band. Your quote after a 20-minute call is an exact figure, not a range.
Yes. Offshored's monthly fee covers recruitment and vetting, employment by Australian Pathways OPC under Philippine labour law, salary, Philippine income tax and statutory contributions, 13th month pay, paid leave, HMO health insurance after probation, a desk and computer in our BGC, Manila office, timekeeping, HR and performance management, and replacement at our cost if the team member leaves.
No. Recruitment with Offshored is free until you choose a candidate and sign a Memorandum of Understanding, and there is no placement fee or setup fee. You then pay month to month. To end the arrangement you give 30 days' notice, the following invoice is prorated to the notice period, and there is no exit fee.
Offshored invoices on the 15th of each month, due on the 30th, in advance of the work period, so payment for October is due on 30 September. If your team member starts on a date other than the 1st, the first month is prorated, and the first invoice covers that prorated month plus the second month, due before the start date.
AI Operator roles are A$2,450 to A$5,500 per month because the team member is trained and certified under the Offshored AI Operator Standard to run your AI tools and automations alongside their core role, and because the range covers everything from an AI-capable administrator to a senior developer building automations. The fee within the band depends on the underlying role and experience.
Yes, the fee is a flat monthly amount that already includes paid leave: 10 days in years one and two, 15 days in years three and four, and 20 days from year five, plus Philippine public holidays. Leave beyond the allowance is unpaid and is discounted from your December invoice. Your team member works Australian public holidays unless the day is also a Philippine holiday.
The fee you are quoted is fixed for the calendar year. Offshored team members have a performance review after the first month and then annually, where they can make the case for a salary increase. Any increase you agree to takes effect on 1 January and the monthly fee adjusts by that amount. The published Terms of Service contain no other price increase.
