The Australian Tech Talent Gap
Australia faces one of the most acute software-developer shortages in the developed world. Vacancy rates in tech roles sit around 8% — one in twelve roles cannot be filled locally. Sydney and Melbourne salaries for senior engineers have climbed past AU$180K base before bonuses, and recruitment fees of 20–25% of first-year salary are the norm. For startups, Series A teams, and established businesses trying to ship a new product, this combination of cost and scarcity is paralyzing. Outsourcing to a long-trusted India-based team like Stallioni gives you access to similar senior-level talent in your business hours — at a significantly lower all-in cost — within weeks rather than months.
Our Australian Project Track Record
Australia is one of our recurring client regions on Freelancer.com. Our public portfolio includes a Shopify build for an Australian honey brand, e-commerce work for AU-focused stores, and various smaller WordPress and design projects for Australian agencies. The pattern: clean delivery, AUD-friendly pricing, and Australian-business-hour availability.
How We Work with Australian Clients
Australian engagements typically start with a 30-minute call between 1 PM and 5 PM Sydney/Melbourne time (8:30 AM and 12:30 PM IST). Within 48 hours we deliver a fixed-scope proposal with milestones and AUD-equivalent pricing. Work begins within 5–7 working days of signing. We use Slack, GitHub, Linear or Jira, and Figma — or adapt to whatever your team already uses. Weekly demos every Friday afternoon Sydney time. Milestone-based invoicing keeps both sides aligned on progress.
Pricing for Australian Clients
Our hourly rate starts at $12 USD (around AU$18). For dedicated team engagements, monthly rates per developer typically run AU$3,500–$6,500 depending on seniority and stack. Fixed-scope MVPs and redesigns generally run AU$10K–$70K. Invoicing in USD or AUD (your choice), payable via wire transfer or PayPal. Freelancer.com escrow is available for first-time clients who prefer that safety. No setup fees, no recruitment fees, no markup on third-party costs.
Important: We Are Based in India, Not Australia
We do not have an Australian office, an AU phone number, or Australian Business Number. We work with Australian clients remotely from Coimbatore, India — same as we have for nearly two decades. Our advantage is the time-zone overlap and cost saving that comes from being in India; we do not try to disguise our location. All meetings happen on Zoom or Google Meet, all collaboration on Slack and your project tools. Many Australian clients have engaged us repeatedly over years, so this model clearly works — but it is right to be upfront about it.
