13/1300/1800 services are phone numbers callers are able to dial from anywhere in Australia free of any timed charges or indeed free of any charge when using a 1800 number. The call is then directed to your office(s) anywhere in the world.
You could therefore direct callers to your 13/1300/1800 to the appropriate office in each state. For example a Queensland caller is directed to the Brisbane office and a Victorian caller to your Melbourne office, while each has dialed the same 13, 1300 or 1800 number.
Another benefit is that even if your office number changes (for example when you grow and relocated to larger offices) your 13/1300/1800 number does not change. It is just redirected to the new office number.
