Pricing

What do licences cost?

GovTEAMS OFFICIAL licences are $10 per user, per month. Guests are not allocated licences and are always free.

GovTEAMS OFFICIAL pricing is based on the organisation’s active members and levied every six months, in arrears.  

  • The minimum GovTEAMS OFFICIAL charge for an Active member is 1 month of use.  

  • Members that have a licence removed will not be deleted, reset or permanently removed from the GovTEAMS OFFICIAL tenancy.  

  • Data related to member activity, including, but not limited to Microsoft Teams messages and conversations, owned documents, emails and attachments, etc., will not be deleted from the GovTEAMS OFFICIAL tenancy when a member’s licence is removed.  

  • Reassignment of a licence to a previously licenced member will restore previous data ownership to that member. 

Under 100 Average Staffing Level

Commonwealth organisations with an Average Staffing Level (ASL) of 100 employees or less, will be exempt from paying GovTEAMS OFFICIAL licensing fees. Note, this does not mean the first 100 licences will be free to other organisations.

Existing Office 365 licences 

At this stage, Microsoft does not allow organisations to reuse their existing Office 365 licences to gain full access to GovTEAMS OFFICIAL.
