Who we are

Local IT.
Local face.

Hi, I'm Jay. After two decades in IT across the Northern Rivers, I founded this business around one idea: local businesses deserve proper IT support β€” fast, personal, from someone who knows your region and picks up the phone.

When you call Northern Rivers I.T, you get me directly. I know the regional internet challenges, the flood recovery realities, the creative studios running mixed Mac/Windows fleets, and the compliance needs of healthcare and professional services. No ticket queue. No hold music. Just fast, expert help.

Why choose us

We're not a helpdesk.

The things that make Northern Rivers I.T different aren't features β€” they're commitments.

🌏
We actually live here
We know regional internet challenges, flood recovery, and the pace of life in the Northern Rivers β€” we're not guessing.
πŸ‘€
You always speak to Jay
No call centres, no Level 1 script-readers. You call the person who knows your setup and actually fixes the problem.
⚑
24/7 Emergency response
Ransomware at 2am? Server down before a big presentation? We pick up. Managed clients get priority around the clock.
πŸ”­
We fix it before it breaks
Proactive monitoring means we're usually on an issue before you notice it. Not reactive β€” preventative.

FAQ

Plain answers

The questions we hear most β€” answered honestly.

Do you help home users or just businesses?
Primarily businesses, but we're happy to help local home users too β€” especially home offices, smart home setups, or security concerns. Give Jay a call.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the full Northern Rivers and Far North Coast NSW β€” Gold Coast border to Grafton, including Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah, Casino, and Grafton. Remote support available Australia-wide.
One-off jobs or do I need a contract?
Both. One-off support for specific problems, and ongoing managed IT plans for businesses wanting proactive monitoring and a fixed monthly cost. No lock-in contracts β€” ever.
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
For critical issues β€” ransomware, server failure, complete outages β€” we aim to respond within the hour, 24/7. Managed plan clients get priority response. Onsite time depends on your location.
Do you support both Macs and Windows?
Absolutely β€” hybrid Mac/Windows environments are a speciality. We work with many creative studios, healthcare practices, and professional firms running mixed fleets, and support Adobe Creative Cloud on both platforms.
What's the free health check?
A free 30-minute consultation β€” in person or over a call β€” where Jay reviews your setup, identifies security gaps or inefficiencies, and gives you honest, practical advice. No hard sell. No obligation.
Can you migrate us to Microsoft 365?
Yes, and we do it constantly. We've migrated dozens of Northern Rivers businesses to Microsoft 365 with zero downtime. Email migration, SharePoint, Teams, licences, and staff training β€” all included.
How much does IT support cost?
Depends on your business size and needs. Managed plans from a fixed monthly fee per user. One-off support billed hourly. Call Jay for a no-obligation quote β€” we'll tailor something that fits your budget.
