What we do in Australia.
Australian consumer and enterprise mobile expectations are unforgiving. App Store ratings drop fast on slow launches, broken push notifications or any release that ships with regressions. APRA-regulated fintechs face CPS 234 obligations on every customer-facing flow. My Health Record-adjacent platforms have to evidence ADHA conformance before they can be deployed.
Buraq builds Australian mobile apps that handle all of this. Native iOS in Swift, native Android in Kotlin, or React Native when shared codebase economics make sense. App Store and Play Store optimisation for Australian storefronts, APRA-aware customer flows for regulated fintechs, and My Health Record-aligned engineering for digital health.
What teams in Australia are up against.
The friction points we most often see when we start engagements in this market, and the ones our delivery plan is designed to remove.
App Store ratings dropping after the last release because QA missed iOS-specific regressions.
APRA CPS 234 obligations forcing customer flow changes nobody scoped properly.
Push notifications driving uninstalls instead of engagement because the strategy was never instrumented.
React Native apps that feel "almost-native" but lose users to truly native competitors.
Backend APIs designed for web that don't survive Australian rural network reality or offline scenarios.

PCI DSS scoping for in-app payments and tokenisation patterns.
Outcomes for Australia teams.
What we consistently deliver, the reasons operators pick us over generalist firms.
Approved on first submission
App Store and Play Store guidelines are engineered into the build process. We've never had an Australian client app rejected for guideline violations on first submission.
APRA CPS 234 engineered in
Information asset classification, control implementation evidence and incident notification workflows built into customer-facing flows from day one.
Native-feeling React Native, or actually native
Honest recommendations on the native vs cross-platform decision based on your roadmap, performance requirements and team economics.
Backend that survives Australian reality
Optimistic UI, offline-first sync, push notification reliability, and API contracts designed for Australian network conditions including remote and regional coverage.
How we work, in detail.
Designed for Australian App Store economics
Australian App Store rankings are influenced by install velocity, retention curves, ratings and engagement metrics. We engineer for all four from version one. App Store Optimisation is part of the launch plan, not a marketing afterthought.
We've helped Australian clients launch from zero to hundreds of thousands of installs in their first quarter. Every launch is a coordinated effort across product, engineering and marketing, not an engineering deliverable thrown over the wall.
Built for Australian regulatory expectations
APRA CPS 234 has reshaped what Australian fintech and insurance mobile teams have to evidence. Information asset classification. Control implementation. 72-hour incident notification. Third-party assurance. Most apps were never designed for these requirements and now have to be retrofitted.
We engineer APRA-aware capability from version one for fintech and insurtech clients. For My Health Record-adjacent platforms, the same discipline applies to ADHA conformance, secure messaging standards and the documentation healthcare providers expect before they'll deploy.

Australia questions, answered.
Have a question not listed here? Contact our Australia team and we'll get back to you.
01Should we build native or React Native?
If you have one platform-specific differentiator, build native there and React Native for the other. If your app is mostly forms, lists and standard interactions, React Native delivers 80% of native quality at 50% of the cost.
02Can you handle APRA CPS 234 mobile compliance?
Yes. We've supported APRA-regulated entities in operationalising CPS 234 in mobile flows, including information asset classification, control implementation evidence and 72-hour incident notification workflows.
03Can you support My Health Record and ADHA conformance for healthcare apps?
Yes. We have direct experience with ADHA conformance, secure messaging delivery (SMD), HL7 FHIR AU integration and the assurance evidence healthcare providers expect before deploying third-party mobile platforms.
04Are your services billable in AUD?
Yes. All Australian mobile engagements are invoiced in AUD with GST handled per ATO requirements.
