Working in Gold Coast

Holiday rentals and high-rise strata generate constant cleaning, plumbing and maintenance enquiries, often from people interstate. Humid summers keep air-con and pest control busy, and the cross-border time difference with Tweed Heads is easy to get wrong.

Time zone: AEST (UTC+10) all year with no daylight saving – an hour behind Sydney in summer, even though Tweed Heads across the border is on NSW time. Tell us which side of the border you work and we'll set your hours accordingly.

How it works

STEP 1

Divert missed calls

Dial a short code on your mobile so calls you don't answer go to your KookaDesk line. The codes are national – see the Telstra, Optus and Vodafone guide.

STEP 2

It answers in your name

It says it's your AI assistant, asks your questions and gives only answers and prices you've approved. Utility faults go to the right local contacts – City of Gold Coast for water, Energex for power network faults – and emergencies to 000.

STEP 3

Reply with a number

You get a text with the job and preferred times. Reply 1 or 2 to confirm; the customer gets an SMS confirmation and an email copy goes out for the record. No links, no app.

Gold Coast FAQs

What time zone will my KookaDesk run on in Gold Coast?

AEST (UTC+10) all year with no daylight saving – an hour behind Sydney in summer, even though Tweed Heads across the border is on NSW time. Tell us which side of the border you work and we'll set your hours accordingly.

Do I need a local phone number?

No. Your customers keep calling the number they already have. Calls you don't answer are diverted to your KookaDesk line behind the scenes, so nothing changes on their side.

Do the call diversion codes work here?

Yes. Mobile diversion codes are the same across Australia on Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. For landlines, VoIP and office phone systems we send the steps for your provider.

Can it give callers the right local numbers in Gold Coast?

Yes. For faults that belong to the utility rather than you, we load the right contacts for your area – in Gold Coast that's typically City of Gold Coast for water and Energex for electricity network faults. Emergencies always go to 000.

How much does it cost?

A$129, A$199, A$349 or A$549 per month +GST, the same everywhere in Australia. 7-day free trial with up to 100 call minutes. Cancel anytime before day 7 and you won't be charged. No setup fee for our first 10 customers (normally from A$299 +GST).

Will callers know it's an AI?

Yes. It says it's your business's AI assistant at the start of every call and tells callers the call may be recorded, with the option to leave a message instead.
