You cannot get the files back
When someone leaves, their personal account walks out with every document in it.
Google Workspace
Google Workspace, set up on your own domain
If your crew already lives in Gmail, Workspace is the path of least resistance — the same interface everyone knows, but on your business domain with shared drives, calendars and proper admin control.
Included from the Starter plan
Melbourne-based, on the ground across the south-east and northern suburbs, with support in Canberra and remote setup Australia-wide.
What customers actually search for
- Google Workspace setup Melbourne
- business Gmail with own domain
- Google Workspace migration Australia
- shared drive setup small business
- Google Workspace for tradies
Most small businesses that "use Google" are really just using free personal Gmail accounts, which means no admin control, no shared drives and no way to recover a departing employee's files. Workspace fixes all three.
The problem
The free-Gmail trap
No shared drives
Files live in individual accounts and get emailed around as attachments with version numbers in the filename.
No admin control
You cannot reset a password, enforce two-factor or suspend an account you do not own.
It looks amateur
[email protected] on a quote does not inspire confidence.
What you get
What google workspace setup includes
Domain verification and setup
Workspace connected to your domain with MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records configured and verified.
User accounts
Accounts created for you and your crew, with the right licences and no over-provisioning.
Shared drives
Team drives structured by job, client or year — so files belong to the business, not to a person.
Shared calendars
A team calendar for jobs and availability that everyone can actually see.
Mail migration
Existing mail, contacts and calendar imported from Gmail, Outlook or wherever you are now.
Security baseline
Two-step verification enforced, admin roles set, recovery options configured.

Two-step verification turned on and a short walkthrough for you and the crew.

FAQ
Google Workspace Setup — common questions
Setup, migration, configuration and support are included. The per-user licence is billed directly by Google — roughly $12 per user per month for Business Starter at the time of writing.
Your old personal address keeps working, and we migrate its mail across. Going forward you send from [email protected], which is the address customers see.
Workspace gives you your own domain, admin control, shared drives, business-grade support and — critically — company ownership of the data. Free Gmail gives you none of that.
Yes, and the reverse. We handle mail, contacts and calendar migration in both directions with no gap in service.
Yes. Getting the shared drive structure right at the start is the difference between a system people use and a dumping ground. We agree the structure with you before building it.
