## The Australian Market

Australia has 26 million people, 2.5 million active businesses, three primary time zones (AEST, ACST, AWST) plus daylight-saving variants in NSW, VIC, ACT, SA, and TAS. The cost of a missed call for a tradie, a real estate agency, or a dental clinic is often a job worth several hundred to several thousand dollars. AI handles every zone simultaneously and never sleeps through a 7am call from Perth into Sydney.

## APP Compliance

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner enforces the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Recent reforms tightened breach notification and increased penalties. AI receptionist deployments are configured to meet APP requirements:

- APP 1: open and transparent management of personal information
- APP 5: notification of collection at the start of the call
- APP 6: purpose limitation on how call data is used
- APP 11: secure handling and retention windows
- APP 12 and 13: access and correction on request

## Pricing in AUD

Pricing depends on call volume and integrations. For small businesses (tradies, B&Bs, single-clinic practices) AUD 200 to 500 per month is typical. For multi-location practices and busy real estate agencies it scales from there. Quotes are issued per deployment after a 30-minute scoping call.
