What this placement covers
Every DotVA placement is dedicated — one VA, one client. The tasks above are the core scope, calibrated against 48+ DotVA placements. Add or remove items via the SOP in week 1.
Pricing + placement
This role sits in our specialist tier: AUD $18-$25/hr (excl GST). At a typical 15-30 hours/week placement, that’s approximately AUD $2,095/month all-in. A $500 refundable deposit covers our recruiting + placement work.
Placement time is 7-10 days from discovery call to your VA starting. We replace at no extra cost inside the 30-day satisfaction window.
What you bring
Two things: a 30-minute weekly check-in in week 1-2 (dropping to 20 minutes by week 4), and a willingness to write things down. SOPs, preferences, recurring decisions. Your VA reads them. Everything else — recruiting, vetting, onboarding, performance management, replacement coverage — sits with us.
Book a discovery call and we’ll confirm whether this is the right tier for your situation.

Common questions about hiring a specialist va
Can the VA write the cold email copy?
They can draft. You approve sequences before they run. Most clients write the initial template together with the VA in week 1, then the VA iterates on subject lines and CTAs.
What about Australian Spam Act compliance?
Cold B2B email is permitted under the Spam Act 2003 with proper consent inference and clear unsubscribe. We follow the rules. Your VA understands what is and isn't compliant.
Will the VA take sales calls?
No — booked calls go to you (or your sales team). The VA's job ends at "calendar invite accepted".
