What we help with

Sound familiar?

If yours isn't on the list, we can almost certainly still help.

  • Getting started with a new phone or tablet

    Making calls, sending messages, and finding your way around.

  • Video calls with family

    Setting up FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom so you can see the grandkids.

  • Email and photos

    Getting email working, and keeping your photos safe.

  • Staying safe from scams

    What a scam looks like, and what to do when one turns up.

  • myGov, banking and appointments

    Getting into the accounts you need, without the stress.

  • Writing it all down

    We leave you with simple, step-by-step notes you can follow later.

Help that goes at your pace

A lot of tech help is rushed. Someone comes in, taps a few buttons, and leaves. Ten minutes later you're stuck again and don't want to bother them.

We do it differently. We sit with you, explain things as many times as you like, and write down the steps in plain English so you can do it yourself next time. If you'd rather we just fix it and not explain, that's fine too.

Keeping you safe online

Scam calls, scam emails and scary pop-ups are aimed at older Australians every day. We'll show you what they look like, set up your computer and phone so they're harder to fall for, and give you one simple rule: if you're not sure, call us before you click.

If something's already happened, don't be embarrassed. It happens to very clever people. We'll help you clean it up and make sure you're safe.

Family members: we're happy to talk to you too

If you're arranging help for a parent or grandparent, give us a call. We'll explain what we can do, keep you in the loop if they'd like us to, and never push anything they don't need.

How it works

Three simple steps

  1. Call or send a message

    Tell us what's going wrong in your own words.

  2. We come to your home

    At a time that suits you. Nothing to unplug, nothing to carry anywhere.

  3. Fixed and explained

    Price agreed before we start. Everything explained in plain English.

What it costs

Simple prices, agreed before we start

No call-out fee. You'll hear the price and say yes before any work begins.

  • Home visit

    $120 first hour

    Then $60 per extra half hour, only if you agree first. Most visits are done in the first hour.

  • Seniors Card or pension

    $110 first hour

    Just show your card.

  • Phone or online help

    $59 up to 30 min

    $89 for up to an hour, for quick things that don't need a visit.

See all prices, plans and gift vouchers. Weekends and after 5pm add $50. If we can't make anything better, you don't pay for the visit.

Common questions

Things people ask us

  • I don't know the right words for what's wrong. Does that matter?

    Not one bit. Say it however it comes out, like "the internet box has a red light" or "the pictures went away". We'll work it out together.

  • Will you make me feel silly?

    Never. Everyone starts somewhere, and the questions you're worried about asking are the ones we hear every week.

  • Can you show me how to do things myself?

    Yes, and we'd love to. We'll go through it slowly and leave written steps behind.

  • Can my son or daughter book on my behalf?

    Of course. They can call us and we'll arrange a time that suits you.

Where we go

Based in Southern River. We visit these areas most often, and plenty more. Not listed? Just ask.

Ready when you are

Call or text, and a real person answers. Or send a message and we'll call you back.
