Which offer

Platform, projects and managed IT are three different things

They are not the same purchase. One is a subscription, one is a fixed scope of work and one is an ongoing agreement, and we price them separately rather than bundling them to look bigger.

Subscription

LYD AssistOS platform

Enquiries, website, CRM, follow-up, reviews and booking. Not a clinical record, rostering or claiming system.

Fixed scope

Specialist projects

Cybersecurity, automation, AI and reporting. AI drafts; a person approves every output.

Ongoing

Managed IT

Accounts, devices, Microsoft 365, backups, security and planning. Hardware supply and repair stay with your existing suppliers.

Local context

What is happening around Cairns

Context only. Government investment does not by itself create an IT grant or a procurement opportunity.

$37.6 million is funded to add 32 overnight beds at Cairns Hospital.

Stage one of a $1 billion master plan that also contemplates a surgical and innovation centre, four operating theatres and a cyclone-rated helipad. Earlier 2025 material quoted a larger bed figure, so the numbers have moved.

Support at Home personal care contributions changed on 1 October 2026.

A participant does not pay for approved personal care where it sits in their plan and the budget covers it.

NDIS participation and capacity-building budgets began reducing on 1 October 2026.

Social, civic and community participation supports and capacity building daily activity budgets are being progressively reduced. Core daily living and personal care are not affected.

Cairns questions

Questions providers ask

Is anyone from Sharktech based in Cairns?

No. There is no Cairns office, resident engineer or on-call team. The two offices are in Liverpool NSW and South Yarra VIC, and everything here is delivered remotely. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm AEST. Queensland does not observe daylight saving, so that is local time all year.

Can you connect to our existing care software?

Only where that software allows an export or an API, and we check before quoting. No NDIS or aged care platform is listed as a supported integration. If a custom data warehouse would be required, we say so rather than take on that build.

What does a first engagement cost?

A single defined problem with a written scope and a measure. Workflow automation starts from A$3,000 + GST and a cybersecurity posture assessment from A$5,000 + GST, both excluding GST and confirmed in writing after a short assessment. The LYD AssistOS platform is separate, from $220 per month + GST, or $165 billed annually.

Next step

Start with one defined problem

A 30-minute discovery call, then a written scope with an agreed price and a measure for whether it worked. No obligation, and no proposal unless you ask.
