Data Annotation Company in Australia
Australian-led data annotation and AI training data for local companies, universities and government. Onshore annotation available when your data can't leave Australia. Free sample in 24-48 hours.
An Australian data annotation partner
AI Taggers is a Melbourne-based data annotation company. We label images, video, text, audio, LiDAR and documents, and produce LLM training data, for Australian teams that want a local partner they can call during business hours rather than a ticket queue in another timezone.
Every project runs under Australian-led QA and accountability. For data that must stay in the country, such as health records, government data or defence-related imagery, we offer onshore annotation by Australian-based annotators on Australian infrastructure, aligned with the Privacy Act. Onshore work typically costs 10-20% more than global teams, reflecting local labour costs.
Where data sovereignty isn't a constraint, we combine Australian project management with our global specialist network to keep costs down without dropping the quality bar.

Frequently asked questions
Is AI Taggers an Australian company?
Yes. AI Taggers is based in Melbourne (Collins Street) and all projects are managed and quality-controlled from Australia.
Can our data stay in Australia?
Yes. Onshore annotation uses Australian-based annotators on Australian infrastructure, so data does not leave the country. It typically costs 10-20% more than global delivery.
How much does data annotation cost in Australia?
It depends on the task. Simple image bounding boxes start around $0.50 per image, segmentation from about $2, and audio transcription from about $1 per minute. See the pricing page for full ranges; we confirm a fixed quote after a free sample.
Do you work with universities and research grants?
Yes. We can scope a project to a fixed budget so research teams can plan labelling costs inside a grant.
How quickly can we start?
Send 25-50 files and your labelling instructions and we return a free annotated sample within 24-48 hours. Production starts once the quote and guidelines are signed off.
