Common questions
What readers ask before they dig in.
What topics does the Yoonet blog cover?
We write about building and managing offshore teams in the Philippines, primarily for Australian and New Zealand small businesses. That includes practical guides on cost, privacy law, accounting, allied health admin, and how AI fits into an offshore team. Every article is written from fifteen years of doing this in Balanga City, not from a content brief.
How much does it cost to hire offshore staff in the Philippines?
For a dedicated full-time person working from our secured Balanga office, expect AUD 1,500 to 3,000 a month all-in. That covers salary, all Philippine statutory benefits, a secure desk, IT, and the local leadership that supports your team member day-to-day. No setup fees, no recruitment fees.
Is offshore outsourcing safe under Australian privacy law?
Yes, if done correctly. The Australian Privacy Act does not prohibit offshore processing, but it does hold you accountable for what your service provider does with personal information. The key is a proper data processing agreement and a provider that runs in a secured office environment — not a work-from-home freelancer setup. We have written a plain-language guide on this in our blog.
What roles can I offshore to the Philippines?
The most common with our clients are bookkeeping and accounting support, practice administration for allied health clinics, digital operations (data entry, reporting, CRM management), and executive assistant work. Roles that need clear processes and produce repeatable outputs are the strongest fit. Roles that require physical presence or on-the-spot local judgment are not.
How is Yoonet different from a freelance marketplace?
Every Yoonet team member is a direct employee of our Philippine entity with a full employment contract, statutory benefits, and a desk inside our CCTV-monitored, biometric-access office in Balanga City. We are not a marketplace of individuals working from home. You get a named person who works only for you, backed by local management that handles HR, leave, and development.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. We operate month to month. We are confident enough in the quality of our team and the depth of our client relationships not to rely on contracts to keep people. Our retention rate across the whole operation is 89.29%, and clients stay because the work is good, not because they are locked in.
