While based in Canberra much of my work comes from other cities, and even countries. I will estimate or quote on a job, work full or part time as needed, and work on-site or off-site as appropriate. My off-site development network, which you can connect into, includes a test lab, screen sharing and video conferencing.
I use Virtual Machines (VMWare) so I can work in an environment as close as practical to your own. I can even put them on my laptop and work on-site when needed.
