Process & Pricing

Simple, honest pricing.

No lock-in contracts, no hidden fees. You pay for the work we do — and nothing when there's none.

How it works

We answer as you.

Callers hear "Good morning, [Your Business], Mary's speaking." To do that properly, we learn how you operate first.

1

Onboarding form

A short online form so we know how you run — your participants, your procedures, what happens when a worker misses a shift or a participant cancels.

2

Get-to-know-you call

We talk it through, you ask us anything, we confirm we've got your process right. You're handing us your phone — trust matters.

3

Go live

You divert your line to us whenever you need — a break, a meeting, a sick day, after-hours, a weekend.

4

A report every morning

A summary of every call we handled the day before — who called, what it was about, what we did. (For one-hour cover, you get it at the end of the hour.)

Prefer to prepay for a lower rate? Optional call packs, used across 12 months — cheaper per call, and only if you want them:

20 calls / yr
$447 · $22.35 a call
30 calls / yr
$627 · $20.90 a call
50 calls / yr
$997 · $19.94 a call

Go over your pack? Extra calls are simply billed at the standard $24.70 pay-per-call rate — never a penalty, never more. Unused calls last the full 12 months.

Workforce plans

Ongoing management, priced by the number of workers. Each plan includes everything in the one below it.

Basic
$177 / week
Up to 5 workers
  • Document compliance — we hold documents, track expiries, chase signatures, keep everything current
  • Policy updates applied in your CRM
Standard
$317 / week
Up to 10 workers
  • Everything in Basic
  • Ongoing supervision & check-ins
  • Training coordinated when needed
Premium
$427 / week
Up to 15 workers
  • Everything in Standard
  • Performance management — documented, Fair Work–aligned warnings, to your direction (you remain the legal employer)

More than 15 workers? Additional workers +$40/week each — no need to jump a whole tier.

Recruitment

Priced per hire, not weekly.
$177 per successful placement, or $797/year (up to 10 placements) if you hire often. A fraction of an agency's fee.
