Working in Hobart

Cool winters keep heating, heat pumps and hot water in demand, and older weatherboard homes bring painting, carpentry and repair enquiries. Smaller teams mean the owner is often the one on the tools – and the one missing calls.

Time zone: AEST (UTC+10), and AEDT (UTC+11) during daylight saving – the same clock as Sydney and Melbourne.

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 – TasWater for water, TasNetworks 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.

Hobart FAQs

What time zone will my KookaDesk run on in Hobart?

AEST (UTC+10), and AEDT (UTC+11) during daylight saving – the same clock as Sydney and Melbourne.

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 Hobart?

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

How much does it cost?

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. Setup fee waived for our first 3 founding customers.

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.
