Break-fix

Ad-hoc IT help. No contract.

When you don't need a managed-services contract — just someone reliable to call when something breaks. Same engineer, same gear, same standards as our managed clients. Hourly billing, with pre-paid blocks for businesses that need help often enough that block-pricing pays off.

Hourly rates

Business hours (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm). 1-hour minimum onsite.

The honest maths: if you're hitting more than ~10 block hours per quarter, a managed-services tier almost certainly costs less per hour AND gives you proactive monitoring, security baseline, immutable backup, and a fixed monthly number. We put the comparison on every invoice — no pressure, just visibility. Full details at /break-fix.

Travel

Travel rings. Distance-based, not made up.

Radius-based travel pricing from Outlaw IT HQ in Fernvale (4306). Five rings, transparent rates. Managed clients get half travel-time billing as part of the relationship; break-fix is full rate. Remote-first means we resolve as much as possible without driving — onsite is reserved for the work that needs hands.

Remote-first principle: regardless of ring, if the problem can be solved remotely we'll do that. Onsite visits are quoted with the smallest reasonable ring rate. For worldwide remote PC work that doesn't need anyone onsite at all, see Outlaw Remote below.

Onboarding + terms

Honest setup fees. Honest commitment options.

We charge for onboarding because it's real work — between $440 and $5,000 inc-GST depending on tier. We publish the fees rather than burying them in the monthly rate. We default to 12-month commitments at Essentials and above because that's how Microsoft's licence terms work; we also publish a month-to-month option at +10% so you can choose.

Onboarding fees (one-off inc-GST)

Tier Fee Maps to
Monitor $0 RMM deploy only
Solo Secure $440 ~4 hrs setup
Essentials $1,650 M365 Setup Express
Standard $2,500 M365 Setup Standard
Premium $5,000 M365 Setup Pro

Onboarding waivable on 24-month commitment at OIT discretion. Waived by default on 36-month.

Term and commitment rates (per user / endpoint / mo)

Tier 12-month (list) Month-to-month (+10%) 24-mo (-5%) 36-mo (-8%)
Monitor $39 $39 (no uplift) n/a n/a
Solo Secure $109 $109 (no uplift) n/a n/a
Essentials $179 $197 $170 $165
Standard $229 $252 $218 $211
Premium $329 $362 $313 $303

The +10% month-to-month premium covers Microsoft's NCE structural cost (monthly-commitment M365 licences carry a 20% premium). We pass it through honestly rather than absorb it. Add-ons stay at list under any term.

Sub-minimum tenant fee: Where your seat count is below tier minimum (Essentials min 3 users · Standard min 5 · Premium min 10), a $50/mo flat per-tenant fee applies. Covers fixed per-tenant overhead that doesn't scale with seat count. Real-world example: a 2-person legal practice that needs Standard's tenant hardening pays $229 × 2 + $50 = $508/mo, not $229 × 2 = $458.

Project services

Fixed-scope projects. Defined deliverable. Defined price.

One-off projects with a clear scope, a fixed inc-GST price, and a defined timeline. Available to managed clients and non-clients alike. Each one maps cleanly to a managed tier if you decide to continue afterwards.

Express, Standard, or Pro. Pick the right size for your team.

About the SMB1001:2026 readiness labels. M365 Setup builds the technical foundation that maps to a SMB1001 tier — it doesn't deliver certification on its own. Certification requires director attestation via the CyberCert portal (for Bronze, Silver, Gold), plus the non-technical controls — incident response plan, digital asset register, staff training, AI use policy — that sit in the Cyber Health Snapshot uplift.

Pro covers the Gold-level technical controls (EDR, hardened identity, device management, asset visibility). The remaining Gold-level governance controls — IR plan, asset register documentation, training programme, AI policy — get bundled in with a Cyber Health Snapshot Silver or Gold cert engagement. Standard arrives Silver-complete on attestation. Express arrives Bronze-complete with two Silver controls already in place.

Bigger than 20 users, or migrating from Google Workspace / on-prem Exchange? That's a separate scoped project — quoted per environment after a discovery call. We've kept the published tiers honest at the sizes we can deliver to a fixed fee.

Common questions

Pricing FAQ

Why publish your pricing when most MSPs don't?
Because hiding pricing wastes everyone's time. You spend a discovery call learning whether we're in the right ballpark instead of whether we're the right fit. Transparent pricing lets you self-qualify before that call and lets us spend it on the substance instead of the maths.
Are these the real prices or 'starting from'?
Real prices, inc-GST, as published. You'll only pay more if you add documented add-ons (devices beyond the user count, after-hours retainers, project work). No surprise line items.
Do you have a minimum contract term?
Depends on tier. Monitor and Solo Secure are month-to-month — Solo Secure has a 3-month settle-in period reflecting the work to onboard properly. Essentials, Standard, and Premium default to 12 months but month-to-month is available at +10% on the published rate (covers Microsoft's NCE monthly premium, passed through honestly). 24-month commitment earns 5% off list; 36-month earns 8% off. Pick the shape that fits how you want to buy.
Do you charge an onboarding fee?
Yes, at every tier above Monitor. Onboarding fees recover the genuine setup labour — Solo Secure $440, Essentials $1,650, Standard $2,500, Premium $5,000 (all inc-GST). These map to our published M365 Setup Express, Standard, and Pro project services in the Project Services section below. Waivable on 24-month commitments at our discretion; waived by default on 36-month. Charging onboarding is the AU SMB MSP industry norm — providers who don't charge it are either bundling it into inflated monthly fees or skipping a proper setup.
What's not in any tier?
Hardware procurement margin (we sell at cost + small handling fee — see the add-ons catalogue). On-site visits beyond Ring 1 (0-30km from Fernvale) — billed per the Travel Rings table further down this page. Strategic projects (M365 migrations, infrastructure rebuilds, formal SMB1001 certification) — separate fixed-fee quotes, see the Project Services section below. Priority after-hours on-call (Premium-tier add-on at $500/month — see the add-ons catalogue).
Can I customise a tier?
Sort of. You can add the documented add-ons (see catalogue below) on top of any tier. We deliberately don't do bespoke service mixes because that's how MSPs accumulate technical debt and pricing surprises. The tiers + add-ons are the menu.
What if I'm already on M365 with another provider?
We deduct the M365 licence cost from your tier price (currently ~$15/month BB, ~$37/month BP) and you keep your existing licence subscription. We manage everything else.
Do you do break-fix or one-off work?
Yes — break-fix is a full service line. $165/hr standard ($245/hr emergency / after-hours), 1-hour minimum onsite. Pre-paid blocks at 5/10/20 hours offer 9-21% discount and don't expire for 12 months. Open to non-clients and managed clients alike. See the Break-Fix section below for rates, or /break-fix for the full detail. Every break-fix invoice includes a 'what this would have cost on a managed tier' comparison — no pressure, just maths.
What are Outlaw Remote and Outlaw Customs?
Two sub-brands under the Outlaw IT roof. Outlaw Remote is a worldwide remote PC configuration service ($249 / $449 / $799 flat-fee tiers) — we use a Comet KVM device to access your PC at BIOS level over the internet, so we can install OS, drivers, optimise performance, set up software, even repair Windows from anywhere. Outlaw Customs is custom-built PCs (four packages, $1,800 to $8,500+) hand-built in Fernvale, with every build including Outlaw Remote PC Setup Express ($249 value). See /remote and /customs for the full menus.
How does travel pricing work?
Radius-based from Fernvale HQ (4306) using five rings. Ring 1 (0-30km — Ipswich, Brisbane west, Toowoomba foothills) is included with no travel charge. Ring 2 onwards adds km charges and travel-time billing that scales with distance — managed clients get a half-travel-time discount, break-fix is full rate. Full table is in the Travel Rings section below.
What does 'SMB1001-aligned baseline' actually mean?
SMB1001 is the Australian small-business cybersecurity standard — five maturity levels from Bronze to Diamond, with Bronze covering the foundational controls every business should have: MFA, identity hygiene, patching, backup, audit logging. We configure every Essentials+ tier to the SMB1001 Bronze control set as the standard onboarding lockdown, without the formal certification process. If you want the actual certification badge (assessment, gap-fix, evidence packaging, annual maintenance), that's bundled in Premium or available as an add-on project at lower tiers.
Physical security keys — why, and who pays?
Phishing-resistant MFA matters more every year. SMS codes get intercepted; authenticator-app codes get social-engineered. A physical security key (YubiKey 5 series — FIDO2 / WebAuthn hardware token) can't be phished because the cryptographic challenge is bound to the legitimate site. We supply keys at cost + a small handling fee (~$85-120 AUD per key, one-off), two per privileged user (primary in pocket, backup in your locked drawer or safe). Tier-dependent coverage: Solo Secure issues a key for the owner; Essentials covers admin roles; Standard adds key staff; Premium covers all privileged users. The key itself stays with you — we don't bill ongoing rental on physical kit.
What makes your backups 'immutable'?
Acronis Cyber Protect — included from Solo Secure tier upward — stores your backup data in an immutable cloud tier where the data can't be modified or deleted during the retention window, even by someone with full admin credentials. If your environment is ransomware-encrypted overnight, the attacker can't reach back into the backups and corrupt them to extort you twice. Pair that with our 3-2-1 strategy (live data, cloud-immutable copy, optional local-immutable copy on a NAS for clients with on-premises infrastructure) and you've got a backup story that actually survives the worst case.
