About DeskAway

The commute was the worst part

Everyone we place says some version of the same thing: the work was never the problem, the travel and the fixed hours were. So we only carry roles that can be done properly from a kitchen table.

  • No degree, no résumé and no interview panel to sit through.
  • The daily rate is agreed in writing before your first shift.
  • One coordinator stays with you from application to first day.
  • Open to anyone in Australia with a laptop and steady internet.

FAQ

Before you apply

Do I need experience?

No. Every role here can be learned in an afternoon, and you'll have a supervisor to message while you settle in.

What do I need at home?

A laptop or desktop, reliable internet and a quiet spot. Everything else comes from us.

Can I do this alongside another job?

Yes, and plenty of people do. Tell us the blocks you have free and we'll match you to something that fits.

Do you hire outside Tasmania?

Yes — anywhere in Australia. Those cities are just where many of our current applicants live.
