Why Australian Businesses Are Moving Away from High Domestic Agency Rates
Save up to $120,000 AUD per engineer while enjoying 6 to 8 hours of live AEST synchronous working overlap.
Inflated Agency Billing ($140-$220 AUD/hr) & 11.5% Superannuation
Hiring onshore developers in Sydney or Melbourne costs $140,000-$180,000 AUD/yr plus 11.5% super, payroll taxes, and statutory employee liabilities.

The "Timezone Lag" Myth in Traditional Software Outsourcing
Many Australian founders fear outsourcing because of 12-hour delays with European or US teams causing communication gridlocks.
6 to 8 hours of live synchronous working overlap with AEST and AWST business hours! We attend your morning standups and collaborate in real-time.
Unreliable Freelancers & Lack of Commercial Ownership
