Australian Call Centre Outsourcers

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, they also offer a range of customer-related services including Sales, Customer Service, Technical Support, Telemarketing, Complaints Handling, Social Media, and Account Management, as well as integrated services like direct mail, advertising campaigns, back-office support, and more.

One of the main reasons for the shift from call to contact centre is channel evolution. It’s no longer just phone calls. Social platforms (e.g. Facebook Messenger), email, SMS and Live Chat are now standard.

There are also Australian BPOs that specialise in back-office functions like payroll, forms processing and data entry — find Back-Office BPOs in Australia >

Why choose an Australian Call Centre Outsourcer?

COVID exposed the risk of single-country dependency when many offshore centres couldn’t operate. Same-shore isn’t always cheapest, but it often wins on control, quality and resilience.

  • Better customer experience fewer language and cultural gaps; easier coaching and QA.
  • Ease of access site visits, training, recruitment and governance are simpler, which can lift CX and lower total cost.
  • Compliance & data security local data residency and regulatory alignment.
Pro tip

Ask for two reference clients with similar scale and seasonality. One reference is a sales story. Two is reality.

How much does call centre outsourcing in Australia cost?

$48–$70
AUD per hour for a fully outsourced agent including salary, management, technology and reporting.

Some providers offer per-call or per-outcome models, but hourly is usually cheapest at scale.

Final price depends on agent skills, inbound vs outbound, sales vs service, training effort, reporting cadence, technology stack and any specialty requirements.

Heads up
