On-Premise LLM Deployment in Australia
You have the GPU and you have the model. What is missing is the leg in between: the model exposed as a reliable private API, reached securely from your application, returning data you can trust. That is the whole engagement.
Australia has the rare combination of high willingness to pay and a thin local pool of engineers who have run production AI infrastructure. Most teams are choosing between an expensive local consultancy and an offshore arrangement in a timezone that makes daily contact impossible. India is the exception: the working day overlaps almost entirely, so this behaves like a local engagement rather than an overnight handoff.
What you get
- vLLM serving tuned to your GPU: quantisation on the native kernel path, KV cache sizing, continuous batching, prefix caching
- A private network path with no public exposure, verified as a direct peer connection rather than a relay
- Schema-constrained responses plus a deterministic QA gate, so a wrong answer is rejected rather than rendered
- Documented baseline: tokens per second, time to first token, real concurrent capacity
- Infrastructure as code in your repository, a runbook, and every credential held by you
No upfront payment and no escrow required. You hold every dollar until a checkpoint is delivered and accepted, and thirty days of defect correction is included. Scope and price are set on a call.
Invoiced in USD or AUD, payable by Wise or bank transfer.
Request a callback
You speak to the engineer who does the work. No sales rep, no deck.
Get it built at $0.
That is not a discount. It is when you pay. The work is split into checkpoints with acceptance criteria written down before anything starts, and each checkpoint is invoiced only after you have seen it and accepted it. No deposit.
- $0 to start
- You hold every dollar until a checkpoint is delivered and you accept it. No approval, no invoice.
- Fixed cost, unlimited features
- Or hire the team outright: one fixed monthly cost, unlimited feature development, any stack.
- The engineer takes your call
- The person on your first call is the one who architects and writes it. No account managers, no bench time.
A US agency quotes $50,000 to $150,000 for the same build and asks for 40 to 50% of it before a line is written. Account managers, project managers, sales commission and bench time. None of it appears in your product.
Three stages, nothing hidden.
Fixed-fee assessment
Five business days from the day access is in place. Your stack examined end to end, existing work classified as preserved or replaced with reasons, the connection design, and acceptance criteria written as testable statements.
Implementation in checkpoints
Around three weeks. Each checkpoint has written acceptance criteria agreed before work starts, and is invoiced only after you accept it. Appoint an independent technical reviewer if you want one.
Handover and closeout
One real request through your real application, on synthetic data, passing every QA rule. Runbook, recorded handoff, and all our access removed with written confirmation.
What actually applies here.
Regulation and data
Government and health-sector buyers in Australia commonly require that data stays onshore, and that requirement is passed down to whoever supplies them. Once it appears in a tender or a customer contract, a hosted model API is off the table and the only workable answer is inference running on infrastructure inside the country.
Contracting and payment
You contract with an individual consultant based in India. Invoices in AUD or USD, paid by Wise or bank transfer. Your accountant handles an overseas supplier in the usual way, and any documentation they need is provided up front.
Working hours
Full working-day overlap with AEST, which India covers naturally. Calls at a civilised hour on both sides.
Is the timezone actually workable?
Better than most offshore arrangements. AEST and IST overlap for nearly the whole working day, so you get real-time conversation rather than a 24-hour round trip on every question.
Can everything stay onshore?
Yes. On your own hardware, or in an Australian region of your own cloud account, so data does not leave the country at any point in the request path.
Who does the work, and what happens afterwards?
One named engineer throughout. At handover you get infrastructure as code in your own repository, a runbook covering start, stop, upgrade, key rotation and recovery, and all our access removed with written confirmation.
We already have hardware and a model running. Is that a problem?
It is the ideal starting point. Existing work is classified during the assessment as preserved unchanged, preserved with changes, or replaced, with reasons, and nothing is replaced without your written agreement.
Can it be fully air gapped?
Yes, including model and dependency mirroring, offline updates and local evaluation, with no outbound network access at all.
Who holds the accounts?
You do, throughout. Cloud accounts are created and held by you, our access is named and limited-privilege, and it is removed at handover with written confirmation.
