Two things decide the quote more than anything else: how much power the venue can supply, and whether the rig needs a technician on site through the evening. Ask about access and get-out times as well, since many venues want everything cleared the same night, which adds crew hours to the bill.
Of the 75 suppliers listed here, 7 are based in Australia. The other 68 are willing to travel there.

Lighting hire companies in Australia supply and install the rig, then either leave it running on a preset or keep an operator on site. Most cover uplighting, dance floor effects, festoon and pin-spotting for tables, with larger firms adding moving heads, gobos and truss.
Power is the usual constraint. Uplighters run off standard sockets, but moving heads, hazers and truss often need a dedicated supply, and some venues cap the total load. Check whether rigging points already exist or whether the company brings its own stands, and confirm the smoke and fire policy before booking anything that uses a hazer.
Rates for a basic uplighting package in Australia start at $85 and rise to $1,450+ for full production with truss and an operator, with most bookings around $600. Crew time, travel distance and whether the rig stays in overnight are the main variables.
The average price is $600 (AUD), with most priced from $85 to $1,450+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
