Your next VA
was hand-picked.
For you.
Most agencies send you options. We send you the one — then back them with a system.
Because our founder has been a VA herself, she knows exactly what exceptional looks like from the inside — and she won’t place anyone until she’s found it.
Not from a waiting list. We go out and find your person specifically for your brief.
Every placement runs on The Collab Framework™ — from hire through to long-term support.
You work directly with someone who built this from lived experience on both sides.
Your business is growing. Your capacity isn't. That's exactly why we're here.
meet our founder
Hey, I'm Ellyse
With years of hands-on experience across multiple industries, I’ve seen the reality of business ownership: juggling endless tasks, managing teams, and struggling to find time to focus on growth. I’ve been there, and I know how quickly overwhelm can take over.
That’s why I built The Collaborative Co.
Backed by my experience as a 23/24 Australian VA Finalist of the Year, I’ve built a team of dedicated Virtual Assistants who share my commitment to excellence.
So, why do business owners choose The Collaborative Co.?
Cost-effective support – High-quality offshore talent without the overheads of local hires.
Proven reliability – Skilled, hard-working VAs who are committed to your success.
Tailored matching – We carefully pair you with the right VA for your unique needs.
Team-backed approach – Ongoing support from our Australian-based founder and client success team.
