Frequently asked questions

Does Chippie work in rural Hunter Valley areas with poor reception?

Offline mode is on the way — it is one of the features we are building now, so you will be able to create quotes, jobs and invoices anywhere from Singleton to Muswellbrook and sync when you are back in coverage. Today Chippie needs a connection, and it is built to be quick on a phone so on-site quoting still takes only a minute.

Do you understand Newcastle Council requirements?

Absolutely. We are Australian-owned and understand local council requirements across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, and Port Stephens, including DA requirements, safety compliance, and local tradie regulations.

Can I use Chippie for jobs in Port Stephens and the Central Coast?

Yes. Chippie works across all of NSW and Australia. Many Newcastle tradies use it for jobs spanning from the Central Coast to Port Stephens and up through the Hunter Valley.

How does pricing work for small tradie businesses in Newcastle?

Chippie is free for up to 20 jobs per month. Paid plans start at $25 per month — Australian dollars, no USD conversion, no hidden fees, and no long-term contracts.
