Australian call centre outsourcers (also known as BPOs/Business Process Outsourcers, call centre suppliers, contact centre vendors) provide outsourced call centre related services (and more) for businesses across Australia.
Australian call centre outsourcers (or Australian contact centres, which is the more modern term) not only provide call answering services, but they also offer a range of customer-related services, including Sales, Customer Service, Technical Support, Telemarking, Complaints Handling, Social Media, and Account Management, as well as complete integrated services like direct mail, advertising campaigns, back-office support, and more.
One of the main reasons for the change from call to contact centre is that the type of customer contact channels has continued to evolve. Initially, it was just phone calls, but now social media (e.g. Facebook Messenger, Twitter, etc.) as well as emails, SMS, Live Chat, and more are all well supported.
There are also Australian BPOs that specialise in back-office functions like payroll, forms processing, data entry and so on - Click here to find Back-Office BPOs in Australia >
Where are the Australian BPOs & call centre outsourcers located?
Whilst many of the larger Australian call centre outsourcers are located in the CBD regions of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart, several regional call centre hubs, like Ballarat and Geelong in Victoria, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast in Queensland, and regional towns in NSW like Wollongong, are also very popular.
If you are after a particular location, you can now narrow the search to Contact Centres in Melbourne, Contact Centres in Sydney, Contact Centres in Adelaide and Contact Centre Outsourcers in Perth.
COVID certainly made things interesting with many offshore call centres forced to shut down due to restrictions on local travel (e.g. lockdowns) and not having the infrastructure to support work-from-home agents, and this caught out a lot of Australian companies who had ALL their customer support offshore.
That said, there is certainly some savings to be made so it's about making the right decision for your business. Some of the typical reasons companies continue to choose call centre outsourcers in Australia instead of offshore include:
Australian call centre outsourcers use a range of different commercial models, but as a typical guide, you can expect to pay between $48 AUD and $70 AUD per hour for a fully outsourced call centre agent, which would include the agent's salary, management, technology, reporting, etc.
Of course, not everyone is looking for hourly rates and some outsourcers offer different models like per call, per minute etc but as a rough guide, an hourly rate (assuming you have the call volumes) is the cheapest solution.
The skills and experience of the agent, functions (inbound and outbound, sales or service), technology requirements, the amount of training required, the type of reporting you need and so on also have an influence on the final price.
With a large number of options, it can be very difficult and confusing when trying to find the right Australian-based call centre outsourcer/BPO for your business.
Whilst most contact centre outsourcers in Australia would be happy to take on most work, the reality is that Australian contact centre outsourcers often specialise in different skills like B2B (Business to Business) or B2C (Business to Consumer) or different functions like sales or service, and some tend to specialise in specific industry verticals like FMCG, Banking etc.
