Working from home stopped being a novelty and became a normal way to earn a living in Australia. The numbers back it up. A single SEEK search for work from home roles returns listings in the tens of thousands, and Indeed's no experience work from home search runs into the high tens of thousands. That volume is good news if you are job hunting, and a headache too, because scrolling through that many ads is basically a full time job on its own.
Here is where those jobs actually live, what the advertised pay looks like, and the part most people forget until tax time: the deductions that come with a home office.
Where work from home jobs in Australia are advertised
Most work from home roles sit on the same big job boards as everything else, buried inside search filters. A few specialist sites are worth bookmarking as well, particularly if you want purpose-led work or a recruiter doing the legwork for you.
SEEK
SEEK is the biggest single pool of listings. Search results snapshots for work from home roles showed 24,573 jobs in one view and 31,684 in another, with new jobs added daily. The featured listings give a feel for the mix: one snapshot showed an NDIS Intake and Claims Officer role at Bright Plan Management Pty Ltd, a full time job based in Melbourne. That tells you plenty of admin and claims style roles get tagged as work from home alongside tech and marketing jobs.
Indeed
Indeed is where the entry-level volume sits. Its no experience, work from home search returned 89,050 listings in one snapshot and 94,495 in another, with new positions added daily. That scale is exactly why you should use the filters for remote, job type and date posted rather than reading page after page of everything.
LinkedIn showed more than 4,000 work from home jobs across Australia in one snapshot, and the platform leans on your network to surface roles. Narrowing by state quickly shrinks the pool: a Western Australia remote search turned up 156 roles, including a customer service representative and an executive role described as 100 percent remote. Regional searches are useful for gauging how much local competition you are up against.
Ethical Jobs
Ethical Jobs lists more than 2,000 ethical jobs around Australia, with a dedicated remote and work from home section. It is the pick for charities, not for profits and mission-driven organisations that rarely advertise as aggressively as big corporates.
Recruitment consultancies and company career pages
Michael Page advertises work from home jobs on behalf of major companies, which is handy when an employer wants to keep the process quiet. Beyond recruiters, go straight to the source. Larger employers often post on their own careers page first, so set up alerts on the companies you actually want to work for and check them weekly.
Aggregators like Adzuna
Adzuna pulled 11,689 work home job vacancies in one snapshot, with salary filters starting at $70,000, $100,000 and $150,000 per annum. Aggregators are best used as a wide net, then you follow the listing back to the original source before you apply.
How many roles are out there right now
These figures are snapshots from live searches, so treat them as a rough sense of scale rather than fixed numbers. Job counts move daily and vary by the filters you apply.
| Where | Listings seen in a snapshot | What it is good for |
|---|---|---|
| SEEK | 24,573 to 31,684 work from home jobs | Broadest range of industries |
| Indeed | 89,050 to 94,495 no experience, work from home jobs | Entry-level and casual style roles |
| 4,000+ work from home jobs in Australia | Networking and professional roles | |
| Ethical Jobs | 2,000+ ethical jobs, remote section included | Charity and not for profit work |
| Adzuna | 11,689 work home vacancies | Salary filtered searches |
| LinkedIn, Western Australia | 156 remote work from home jobs | Judging state-based competition |
What work from home jobs in Australia actually pay
Public salary information varies wildly depending on whether the employer publishes a figure. Plenty of ads hide it entirely, which is why salary filters and recruiter conversations matter.
| Example | Advertised pay | Where it appeared |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Receptionist, remote, Brisbane QLD | $56,027 a year | Listed on a work from home jobs board |
| Salary filtered listings | From $70,000, from $100,000 and from $150,000 per annum | Adzuna work home search |
| Unnamed advertised role | $120,000 base plus performance bonuses | SEEK salary snapshot for work from home jobs |
Those three bands tell a simple story. At the low end, support style roles sit in the mid $50,000s. The middle band of $70,000 to $100,000 covers most skilled roles that can be done remotely. Above $150,000 you are looking at senior, specialist or sales roles where commission often does a lot of the heavy lifting.
The role types behind the listings
A Swinburne Open Education article published on 8 August 2025 on 20 careers where you can work from home in Australia listed digital marketing specialist, cyber security analyst and IT support technician among the common options. Those three cover the bulk of what you will see advertised: marketers who manage campaigns and content, security people who monitor systems from a laptop, and support staff fielding tickets and calls.
Online tutoring and virtual reception roles turn up regularly in the broader searches too, often with a set hourly or annual figure attached. The trade-off is usually flexibility against pay, and schedule against autonomy.
Entry level and no experience roles
The no experience category is by far the biggest by volume, which is both encouraging and a warning. Encouraging because employers are genuinely willing to train people remotely. A warning because the sheer number of listings makes it easier for low quality ads to hide in the crowd.
When you search, narrow by date posted in the last week and set up alerts rather than checking daily by hand. Apply for fewer roles with better tailored applications, because a generic cover letter stands out for the wrong reasons when a recruiter has 300 of them.
How to spot a listing worth your time
A few habits will save you hours. Read the whole ad before applying, because roles tagged work from home sometimes turn out to be hybrid with two or three office days. Check whether the employer is named, since recruiters advertising without a company name are normal but anonymous ads asking for personal details early are not. Look for a written salary range or a stated award, and ask about pay in the first conversation rather than the third. If a listing promises income with no interview and no experience while asking for an upfront payment, walk away.
Deductions that come with working from home
This is where a work from home job pays you twice. If you work from home, you can generally claim a deduction for the running costs of your home office, including a fixed rate method that covers things like electricity and internet usage, plus separate claims for phone and internet costs where you use them for work. The Australian Taxation Office sets the rules and the record keeping requirements, so always check the current guidance on the ATO website before you lodge.
The catch is records. You need evidence of the hours you worked from home and the expenses you are claiming, and they need to cover the whole income year. Reconstructing that in July from memory rarely ends well.
Lodgya's free work from home calculator gives you a quick estimate of what that fixed rate method might be worth to you, and the free calculators and tax calendar sit alongside it. The Personal tax tracker then keeps the receipts, hours and work-related expenses in one place so a report is ready when your accountant asks. It is built in Melbourne for Australian tax rules, and it starts free.
Everything here is general information, not tax advice. Lodgya is not a registered tax agent, and your situation might be different, so confirm the details with the ATO or a registered professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
What work from home jobs need no experience?
Customer service, virtual reception, online tutoring and entry level admin roles dominate the no experience searches on Indeed, which returned tens of thousands of listings. Data entry and claims support also appear regularly. The pay is modest to start, with advertised figures around the mid $50,000s for reception style work, but these roles often train you up on the job. Apply through the board listing and always confirm the employer before sharing personal details.
Can I claim tax deductions for working from home?
Yes, if you work from home for your employer and meet the ATO's requirements. You can generally claim home office running costs using the fixed rate method, plus a portion of phone and internet expenses used for work. You need records covering your hours and costs across the income year. Check the ATO's current guidance for the rules that apply to you.
Do work from home jobs pay less than office roles?
Not automatically. Advertised pay varies widely depending on role and industry. Salary filtered searches on Adzuna start at $70,000, $100,000 and $150,000 bands, while one SEEK snapshot showed a role advertising $120,000 base plus bonuses. Lower paid support roles do exist, but the same ranges apply as for office based work. Compare the whole package, including travel savings.
Where should I look first for remote work?
Start with SEEK for volume, Indeed for entry level roles, then LinkedIn if you want to work your network. Add Ethical Jobs for not for profit work, recruiter sites like Michael Page for corporate roles, and the careers pages of employers you already want to work for. Set alerts on each so new listings reach you instead of you chasing them.
How do I keep track of work from home expenses?
Log your hours and costs as you go rather than in one panic before lodgment. Keep receipts for equipment, phone and internet, and note the work use percentage. Lodgya's free work from home calculator gives a quick estimate of the fixed rate method, while a tracker keeps the records tidy for your accountant.
