Tasmania has been recognised in recent years as an extremely competitive site for the location of large-scale telephone call centres, with national and international businesses creating nearly 3,000 jobs in just a few years. The success of local call centres is based primarily on the loyalty and skills of local recruits.
Low set-up costs and sophisticated communication infrastructure have also led to growth in software development and other technology-based businesses. In recent years a number of migrants have settled in Tasmania to take advantage of the States communications infrastructure, skills base and unique lifestyle.
The advantages enjoyed by IT businesses in Tasmania include:
- payroll tax exemption for eligible ICT firms engaged in new product development
- access to a highly educated workforce and competitive salaries for skilled personnel
- the lowest capital city office rental costs in Australia
- high employee retention and productivity
- a fully digitised local telecommunications network
- a stable, accessible and responsive State Government with significant support for innovation and the ICT sector.
