Hire Remote Dedicated Developers for Australia, AUD $3,000/month

AUD $3,000 per month, flat. That covers 160 hours of full-time, exclusive work (an effective rate of ~AUD $18.75/hour). No hourly markups, no project surcharges, no retainer minimums, no setup fees. The first 7 days are a risk-free trial; if the developer isn't a fit, we refund 100%. Compare to a senior Sydney/Melbourne in-house hire fully loaded at AUD $12,000-AUD $16,000/month, or a Toptal-tier Australian freelancer at AUD $90-AUD $220/hour (AUD $14,400-AUD $35,200 for 160 hours).

Same engagement, different vocabulary. Australian staff augmentation means a dedicated developer joins your existing engineering team and reports into your sprint cadence on AEST afternoon hours. IT outsourcing or offshore software development is the same arrangement from the vendor side - we are the outsourced engineering partner; your developer is the in-team capacity. Empiric Infotech runs all three under one model: AUD $3,000/month for 160 hours of full-time, exclusive work, billed monthly in AUD, no Fair Work Act notice obligations. The label changes; the engagement does not.

Yes. Our AUD $3,000/month dedicated developer model is offshore software development priced for Australian founder-led product teams. Your developer is India-based, full-time, exclusive to your project, and overlaps the AEST business day by 3.5 hours in the afternoon (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) or up to 7 hours (Perth on AWST). You get the cost structure of offshore IT outsourcing - roughly 4 to 12x less than Toptal-tier Australian contractors and 4 to 5x less than a senior Sydney or Melbourne hire fully loaded - with the consistency of a full-time hire.

Yes - this is one of our most common Australian engagements. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth product teams with 2 to 6 in-house engineers add 1 to 3 Empiric developers to extend the team for 6 to 18 months. The dedicated developer joins your AEST-afternoon standups, picks up tickets from your Linear or Jira, opens PRs in your GitHub, and reports to your engineering manager. From your team's day-to-day, the developer is a teammate. From accounting's side, the developer is a single AUD $3,000 monthly invoice, no superannuation, no payroll tax, no Fair Work Act notice exposure.

Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane (AEST, UTC+10): your developer overlaps your afternoon 14:00 - 17:30 AEST (3.5 hours of live overlap). Perth (AWST, UTC+8): your developer overlaps 12:00 - 19:30 AWST (~7 hours, much stronger). Our project manager is available 12:00 noon AEST through 3:00 AM next-day AEST - covering your full working afternoon, evening, and late-night critical meetings. In summer (AEDT, UTC+11), shift everything one hour later.

Strictly monthly. You pay one AUD $3,000 invoice for one month and you can stop at any time with 7 days written notice. No annual contract, no minimum 3-month or 6-month term, no Fair Work Act notice obligations (because there's no employment relationship - it's a B2B service contract), no early-termination penalty.

Both. Australian clients typically pay by Australian bank transfer (BPAY or direct EFT) - we provide an Australian-bank holding account on the first invoice for AUD-denominated payments without exchange-rate friction. International wire transfers settle in 1-2 business days. Credit card via Stripe carries a ~2% surcharge passed through to you. GST: Empiric Infotech LLP is established outside Australia; invoices are issued without GST and Australian clients handle GST self-assessment per ATO rules.

The first 7 calendar days of the engagement are a trial period. Your developer joins daily standups (held 14:00 AEST or your preferred time), gets repository access, and starts shipping. On day 7 you decide: continue (work proceeds, you've already paid for the month) or cancel (we refund 100% of the AUD $3,000 invoice within 5 business days). No questions, no clawback for hours worked.

Yes. Recent Australian engagements include Acceleread (a speed reading training app - 2-developer team across 7 technologies including mobile, web, and ML) and Yield Magnet (a decentralized DeFi marketplace - 2-developer team building Solidity smart contracts plus frontend). Typical AU engagements run 6-18 months continuous, with full-stack web + mobile + Web3 dominating the stack.

Two paths: (a) free replacement - we re-listen (what didn't fit, what changed), introduce the next developer who fits within 48 hours during AEST afternoon, and they start at the same AUD $3,000 rate, no premium for the swap. (b) Full refund of the first invoice within 5 business days. You pick.

You do, fully. We sign an NDA + IP-assignment agreement on day 0 that transfers all rights, title, and interest in code, designs, and documentation to your company under Australian law (compatible with NSW and Victorian IP statutes). Developers commit to your GitHub, your AWS, your Linear - using your accounts. Empiric Infotech retains nothing.
