PSA On 2025 pay rates for causal and freelance staff in Australia.

I used to look at freelancing as an arbitrary figure - and probably didn’t always get it right - but here’s what you should be considering when factoring in a freelancer or casual staff in 2025.

Floristry is not a highly paid industry on the whole, but we’re not out here working for peanuts either. 🙈

Freelancing rates should be higher than a standard casual rate, because you’re not paying super, the freelancer is, so the rate should really be at lease 12% higher than you’d pay a casual staff member. Then consider the skill level of the person and what you’re actually asking them to do on the job.

Freelancers also get to dictate their own rates (the innate beauty of contracting for sure) and you get to decide whether you’re willing to pay that rate for that person, doing the particular tasks you are requiring to be done.

But what’s it really costing you? $40/hour for a freelancer to assist for 4 hours is only $160 - which is a small fee to add to a bump in cost. So go add it! Factor in the support and then you can breathe easy.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk - and you’re welcome!

When you’re in the early years, every dollar feels precious, and it should!

But the secret isn’t holding on tight, it’s learning where to let go and where to invest in your business for more return.

Here’s some things I’d invest in sooner if I could start my floristry business again ⬆️

So many florists tell me six figures just isn’t possible for them because they work from home, have kids, or don’t want to take on huge weddings.

But here’s the truth. Six figures IS achievable. You just need to build it in a way that suits your lifestyle, your capacity, and your goals.

Thats exactly what I’ll be teaching in our upcoming Zero to Six Figures Strategy Session. A 2.5-hour business course where I’ll walk you through the exact steps I took to grow Maple & Wren into a six-figure business, and how you can do the same in your own way ✨

Influenza B virus absolutely flattened me this week and my whole calendar had to be cancelled. My body ached, my head pounded, my throat scratched, my nose blocked and I slept on the couch all week so my husband wasn’t disturbed by my coughing fits. It was a doozy! And I’m STILL not 100% (but can sleep in the bed again finally 😮‍💨)

But what didn’t get flattened: my business.

The physical floralling and delivery of events we had on this week still went ahead beautifully, socials still got posted, new enquiries still came in and got responded to, proposals got written, site visits got arranged, new client meetings got set up, invoices got paid, client changes were made - All while I laid in my bed like a lethargic mess.

How? Because I have an amazing team who totally have this and can operate independently with all the guidance they need from me via WhatsApp and email.

This is what scaling is. This is why it matters if you’re making six figures or not because you can pay the people to do the things so you can rest when you’re sick or you need to go to your kid’s sports carnival/dance concert or you just want the day off.

As I started getting better I got bored … and all the space and silence was so good for getting things done - I finished our corporate Christmas guide and sent it out to our clients, I starting working on our 2026 marketing strategy, goals and budget and I made the space to connect with people I haven’t chatted to in a while on the gram.

And that’s also what scaling is - being able to outsource the daily doing of the work so you can focus on the strategy that BUILDS the business and brings you more of the kind of work you want to achieve your goals.

If you’re ready to start scaling your business so you can create a bit of this freedom and strategy too - you NEED to be at my Zero to Six Figure strategy session Monday 10 November!

See you there awesome human! Xx
