IT help desk and support
Something stopped working. One call gets it fixed.
Call us and an engineer who already knows your setup picks it up. We fix it remotely or come to you, and it stays with us until it is fixed.
- Brisbane engineers
- No offshore call centres
- Remote, onsite and cloud

What happens
The calls we take every week, and what happens next.
You do not need to know what is wrong, just what has stopped working. Pick one.
A laptop will not start
We try the quick fixes with you on the phone first. If it is hardware, we arrange the warranty claim or a loan device, and restore the person's files and settings onto whatever they use next.
- Files back from OneDrive or backup
- Warranty chased for you
Email or Teams stopped syncing
We check whether it is one person or the whole office, fix the account or the app, and check nothing else was changed while it was broken.
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
- Remote fix, usually while they keep working
A new starter on Monday
Tell us their name and role. The account, licences, laptop and access are ready before they arrive, so they sign in and start on day one.
- Laptop set up before it arrives
- Access matched to their role, nothing extra
The printer, again
Printers, scanners and the office network are ours too. We fix it, then look at why it keeps happening so you stop calling about it.
- Onsite across South East Queensland
- Root cause, not just a restart
Someone clicked a bad link
Call straight away. We lock the account if needed, check the device, pull the email from every inbox and tell you plainly what was exposed.
- Security team and help desk are the same people
- 24/7 detection on every plan
- Help reporting it to ASD on 1300 CYBER1 (1300 292 371)

Questions
What people ask before they call.
What is the difference between onsite, remote and cloud IT support?
Remote support means an engineer fixes the problem over a secure connection, so nobody leaves their desk. Onsite support means an engineer comes to your office for things that need hands, like new network gear or a failed computer. Cloud support covers email, files and apps that live online, such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Most businesses need all three, and you get all three from the same team.
Do you offer pay as you go support or only contracts?
Both. Flex is pay as you go at $185 an hour. Advantage includes about 30 minutes per person a month, pooled across the team, then $175 an hour. Ultimate is unlimited remote support in business hours, for teams of 10 or more. You can start on Flex and move up when it makes sense.
How fast do you respond?
A Brisbane engineer picks up new tickets in business hours, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm AEST. If it is urgent, ring 07 3114 2808 rather than waiting on an email. From Advantage up you get response times in writing: P0 emergencies within 1 hour, P1 outages within 2 hours and P2 urgent issues within 4 business hours.
What should we do if we think we have been hacked?
Call us on 07 3114 2808 straight away. Unplug the affected computer from the network but leave it switched on, so the evidence survives. We lock the affected accounts, contain the device and work out what was touched. ASD takes cybercrime reports through ReportCyber or 1300 CYBER1 (1300 292 371), and we help you lodge one. If your business is covered by the Privacy Act and personal information may have been exposed, you are expected to assess it within 30 days and notify the OAIC and the people affected if serious harm is likely, so we help gather what you need for that too.
Do you support businesses outside Brisbane?
Yes. Most support happens remotely, so a business in Cairns, Townsville, Hobart or Adelaide deals with the same engineers and the same help desk as one in Brisbane. On-site visits are covered across South East Queensland. If you are further away and need someone on site, ask and we will tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Can you support a mix of office and remote staff?
Yes. Most of our clients have people in the office, at home and on the road. We look after their laptops, phones and sign-ins the same way wherever they are working, and a lost laptop can be locked before anyone gets into it.
