Onshore or offshore: check the location first

Ask where the agents work before you compare prices. An onshore team in Australia is priced at the higher fully loaded rate, while outsourced services are quoted lower per hour or per minute. If your customers expect local accents and local time, choose a base in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide. Perth runs on a different time zone from the east coast, so set shift times with that in mind.

Season and the holiday period

November is late spring. Hiring in this month gets new agents trained before the December to February holiday period, when leave makes cover harder to keep steady. Training for call centre staff is quoted from A$315 to A$2,797 per person, depending on the programme. Public courses are priced per person, while private courses are quoted per team and usually cost more, so plan the training budget before you hire.

What to write in your request

Describe the call type (inbound support, outbound sales or chat), the working language, the schedule (shifts, weekends, overnight), the workplace (on-site or remote), any branding or script, the experience you need and the length of the project. Give your budget as an hourly rate in A$ so that offers compare on the same basis.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe what you need in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in your country and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply with their own price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide who to exchange them with. See also Call centres and telecoms and Live chat agent.
