    In short

    Free Me Up is a Melbourne-based AI consultancy delivering practical, governance-first automation to Australian small businesses, tradies, retailers, healthcare practices, not-for-profits, and professional services firms. Most engagements start with a free AI Risk Snapshot or our 90-Day AI Pilot: fixed scope, fixed price, one live workflow plus a documented governance framework within the quarter. We are not Big 4. We are not vendor resellers. We work inside the tools you already pay for and deliver real outcomes in weeks, not quarters.

    Our approach follows Australia's privacy and AI safety expectations, including guidance from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and the Australian AI Ethics Principles. That context shapes how we scope every engagement.

    Sound familiar?

    The same three problems show up in almost every first conversation.

    Too much time on admin

    Evenings spent on tasks that should take minutes. The admin never ends.

    15–20 hrs/week lost

    Staff already using AI

    Client info pasted into personal ChatGPT. No policy. No oversight.

    Governance, not enthusiasm

    Enterprise-priced consultants

    Big 4 timelines and fees built for ASX 200 — not a 20-person team.

    One workflow, weeks not quarters

    Built for the businesses that keep Australia running

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Straight answers about cost, timeline, safety, and what you need to get started.

    Most Free Me Up engagements are fixed-price, scoped after a free 30-minute clarity session. No hourly surprises and no lock-in contracts.

    A focused single-workflow automation typically takes two to four weeks from scoping to handover. Larger engagements covering multiple workflows or requiring staff training are scoped individually. We work at your pace.

    Yes - if it is implemented correctly. We use a governance-first approach that covers data privacy, staff oversight, and review processes before any AI touches your operations. We do not deploy public-facing AI or autonomous decision-making without explicit sign-off.

    No. Our job is to handle the technical complexity. You need to understand your own workflows - we handle everything else, including training your team to use the tools confidently.
