We keep a short board of work-from-home roles across Australia. Four at a time, each one checked with the employer, each one arranged over WhatsApp.
the Tuesday shortlist
bookings deskWe started DriftDesk in Townsville after watching friends send off forty applications and hear nothing back. So we do the opposite of a giant job site: four roles on the board at a time, every one confirmed with the employer before it goes up, and every one taken down the day it fills.
Every role here is arranged through WhatsApp. Message our HR team to hold a spot — cards come down as soon as they fill.
AUD 120–460 / dayAnswer shopper questions in the chat window of Australian retail sites using replies we give you. Typing only — nobody is ever asked to make a phone call.
AUD 120–460 / dayTidy up customer lists — fix addresses, merge the duplicates, close off old entries. Quiet work that comes with a checklist for every batch.
AUD 120–460 / dayPut together simple accommodation and travel bookings for small operators, then send the confirmations. Evening blocks are available on this one.
AUD 120–460 / dayRead menus and product pages against a short checklist — prices, spelling, missing photos — and log whatever needs fixing for the business.
A short form: your area, and the hours you can genuinely cover.
Our HR team writes back with the roles that actually match you.
A friendly conversation to confirm the role and pick a start date.
Training runs online and the first shift is usually the same week.
Hours are logged as you go and paid on the agreed cycle — nothing to chase.
Four roles listed and all four were still open when I messaged. I had honestly stopped expecting that.
TillyTownsville, QLDThe records work is quiet and I do it in blocks around the school run. Nobody has ever minded when I put the hours in.
AngusCairns, QLDThey told me the pay in the very first message, which is what made me trust the rest of it.
RosieRockhampton, QLDSend us your details and our HR team will message you on WhatsApp with the roles open near you right now.
Send my detailsNo. Every role on this board is beginner-friendly and comes with online training before your first shift. Turning up when you said you would matters far more here than a long résumé.
A laptop or desktop computer, a stable internet connection and somewhere quiet to sit. Anything specific to one role is explained clearly before you agree to start.
Most people start somewhere between 15 and 30 hours and adjust from there. You tell us the window you can genuinely cover and we only offer roles that sit inside it.
Once you have messaged our HR team on WhatsApp, most applicants finish their chat within two days and are working in the same week.
Questions before you apply are welcome — you do not have to send an application first. Email us and a member of the team replies directly, usually within one working day.
