Queensland is our home market, and it has an accidental advantage: Brisbane never changes its clocks, so the overlap with Manila is the same 52 weeks a year. From $14/hr + GST.

Brisbane's wage growth outpaced its margins

Brisbane has grown fast, and wages have grown with it. A competent bookkeeper, claims officer or admin coordinator now costs well north of $75,000 before super, leave, payroll tax, software and a desk — and the candidates who are worth that are not applying, because they already have jobs.

The businesses feeling it hardest here are the ones Queensland is built on: builders and trades, NDIS and allied health providers, logistics operators and the accounting firms that service them. All administration-heavy, all margin-sensitive.

A dedicated offshore team member adds the capacity without the local salary. We are Queensland-based ourselves, so your account manager is in your time zone and your team member is two hours behind it.

The clock

Brisbane's clock advantage is that it never moves

Queensland does not observe daylight saving. That sounds trivial and it is the reason Brisbane handovers are the least fiddly in the country.

Manila is two hours behind, always

9am in Brisbane is 7am in Manila. Your team member starting at 7am their time is at their desk when you walk in — and that relationship never changes, because neither city shifts its clocks.

No twice-yearly renegotiation

Southern cities re-cut their overlap every October and April. In Brisbane the start time you agree in week one is still correct in three years.

A natural early-morning window

A 6am Manila start gives you someone working from 8am Brisbane time, which suits trades and logistics businesses where the day begins early.

Late afternoon is covered

Manila working to 5pm covers your day through to 7pm — which is when site paperwork and next-day confirmations actually land.

Questions

Frequently asked

Are you actually based in Queensland?
Yes — StaffingSolutions.io is Australian-owned and Queensland-based, which is why your account manager is in your time zone rather than a call centre somewhere. Your dedicated team member is in Manila, working the hours you set.
Does no daylight saving really matter?
More than you would think. In Sydney or Melbourne the overlap window shifts by an hour twice a year, so start times get renegotiated and someone is always slightly out of sync in October. In Brisbane you set it once.
We're an NDIS provider — is Queensland experience specific?
The NDIS price guide is national, so claiming experience transfers between states. What differs is the provider mix and the practice software, and we screen for the systems you actually run — Splose, ShiftCare, Lumary or Brevity.
How much does it cost?
From $14/hr + GST full-time — roughly $29K a year against $95K–$115K all-in for the local equivalent once you add super, leave, payroll tax, software and a desk. No placement fee, no setup fee: you pay from the day they start. Interviewing candidates costs nothing. Run your numbers →
How fast can we start?
Typically 14 days from your discovery call to day one. In the first week we source and screen against your brief; you get three matched profiles and interview whoever you like. Once you choose, we handle the offer, the contract, equipment and connectivity checks. Specialist roles can take a week longer, because we won't pad a shortlist to hit a date.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month — the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems and standards. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
