What does a virtual assistant do?
A virtual assistant (VA) provides admin support from a remote location. Tasks vary by client but usually include email and calendar management, data entry, customer follow-up and travel booking. Some VAs specialise in executive support, marketing admin or customer service.

How to get hired as a virtual assistant
1. Build a clear skills profile
List the tools you know — Gmail, Outlook, Google Workspace, Notion, HubSpot, Xero, Canva — and the tasks you have done before.
2. Show reliability
Employers hire VAs they can trust with sensitive inboxes and calendars. Reference checks and a short paid trial are common.
3. Match Australian business hours
Most Australian employers need at least 3–4 hours of AEST overlap. State your availability and time zone clearly.
4. Avoid VA job scams
Never pay for equipment, training or software upfront. A real employer provides tools or reimburses approved purchases.
