Important service boundary
Your IT & Tech Mates provides technology support only. We are not an aged care provider, not a home-care provider, not a personal-care service and not a registered NDIS provider. We do not provide nursing, medication, mobility, personal care, therapy, emergency welfare checks or care-plan management. Our work is limited to devices, internet, repairs, scam-safety guidance and practical digital support. A family member, carer, support worker or authorised representative should be involved where consent, capacity, safety or care arrangements require it.

Why seniors and families choose Your IT & Tech Mates
Patient, plain-English help
We slow down, demonstrate one step at a time and encourage the senior to practise rather than taking over the device.

Safer service boundaries

Common questions from seniors and families
Can a family member arrange help for a parent?
Yes. We confirm the appointment and consent with the senior, and can provide a family follow-up summary when authorised.
Do you provide home visits and remote support?
Yes. The best format depends on the problem, the senior’s comfort and the selected service or plan.
Can you repair phones, tablets and computers?
Yes. For computer repairs in Epping and surrounding suburbs, we can diagnose common laptop, MacBook, tablet and phone problems and provide repair, pickup-and-return or replacement advice. Parts and repair work are quoted separately.
Do you help retirement villages?
Yes. Programs include resident appointment days, digital-confidence workshops and recurring partnerships with privacy-respecting reporting.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Core areas include Epping, Wollert, Lalor, Mill Park, South Morang, Mernda, Thomastown and Bundoora, with nearby suburbs confirmed on request.
