Power BI Consulting Brisbane

Yes, by arrangement. We are based on the Gold Coast and most work is delivered remotely, but for Brisbane and South East Queensland clients we run discovery workshops, training days and go-live sessions at your premises when being in the room adds value. Day-to-day development, model changes and support happen over Microsoft Teams, which keeps projects fast and cost-effective. We agree any on-site days with you in the proposal, so you know what to expect before work starts. To discuss how that would work for your team, book a free scoping call.

Yes. Report Simple is an approved supplier on the Queensland Government ICT Services Panel (ICTSS.13.03B), and we work with Queensland Government, Urban Utilities and the City of Gold Coast among others. For departments and agencies the panel arrangement simplifies procurement. For councils and government-owned entities we engage directly with the same standards: row-level security, documented models and data kept in Australian Azure regions. See how we approach Power BI governance for public-sector reporting.

Brisbane organisations pay the same transparent rates as the rest of Australia. We give you indicative pricing upfront, then a fixed $5,000 discovery confirms the exact scope and produces a fixed-price proposal, and that $5,000 is credited against the build if you proceed. Most Power BI builds run $10,000 to $30,000, while enterprise solutions start at $30,000 and can rise north of $100,000 for complex full-scale rollouts. Pricing is driven by the number of data sources, whether you need a data warehouse, and your reporting requirements. You can also buy a flexible bucket of hours at $200 to $250 or more per hour, or a monthly retainer. Full details are on our Power BI consultant cost page.

Start with a free scoping call, then a fixed-price discovery. On the call we learn about your systems, your reporting pain points and who needs what; from there we scope a discovery that reviews your environment and data sources and produces a fixed-price proposal before any build begins. For Brisbane and South East Queensland organisations the discovery workshops can be run on site by arrangement. Most projects then move into staged delivery with regular check-ins, followed by handover and training. Book a scoping call to get started, or read more about our approach on the Power BI consulting page.

Across Brisbane and Queensland we work with government and utilities, healthcare and aged care, not-for-profits, sport and manufacturing. Queensland Government, Urban Utilities, City of Gold Coast and the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission sit in the public sector; TUH Health Fund and Sundale in health and aged care; Orange Sky and Q Shelter in the not-for-profit sector; Surfing Australia in sport; and Crimsafe in manufacturing. For Orange Sky we unified Volaby, Rosterfy and legacy Excel in Power BI and trained more than 30 staff, with the internal team going on to deploy 14 reports themselves. For Crimsafe we brought MYOB Acumatica and BigQuery into Power BI.

Yes. We regularly work alongside in-house IT teams and managed service providers, who typically own the Microsoft 365 tenancy, security and infrastructure while we own the data model and reporting. We agree responsibilities at the start: your IT provider or MSP handles tenancy administration, gateways and network access, and we handle Power BI workspaces, semantic models, row-level security and report delivery, documenting everything so either side can pick it up. If you want us to carry the ongoing reporting load as well, our Power BI support and managed services cover that.

In your own Microsoft tenancy, in Australian Azure regions. We build inside your environment rather than ours, so your data stays in your tenancy and in Australian regions, and you keep full ownership of the models and reports. Access is controlled through your Microsoft 365 identities and row-level security, and we work to the governance expectations of Queensland Government and regulated organisations. For larger estates we size Microsoft Fabric capacity in the same Australian regions; see Microsoft Fabric consulting and Fabric capacity planning.

Yes. We run Power BI training for Brisbane and South East Queensland teams either on site at your premises by arrangement or live over Microsoft Teams, from report-consumer sessions through to data modelling and DAX for analysts. Training is usually built into a project handover, which is how the Orange Sky internal team came to deploy 14 reports themselves, and it is also available as a standalone engagement. See our Power BI training Australia page for formats and outcomes.
