Senior Tech Assist

Senior Tech Assist is an Australian-based technology support service dedicated to helping older adults navigate modern digital tools with confidence. Designed specifically for seniors, the business provides personalised, jargon-free assistance that turns everyday technology into something practical, useful, and stress-free.

From smartphones and computers to internet safety and smart home devices, Senior Tech Assist focuses on empowering older Australians to stay independent, informed, and connected to family, services, and the wider world.

The Story Behind Senior Tech Assist

Senior Tech Assist was created after recognising a growing gap between rapidly evolving technology and the support available to older users. Many seniors were being left frustrated by devices and services that were never designed with their learning style in mind.

With more than two decades of experience in digital technology and online systems, the founder saw that the real problem wasn’t ability — it was how technology was being explained. Most tech help was rushed, overly technical, or impersonal.

Senior Tech Assist was established to change that experience entirely. The business was built on a simple idea: technology support should be patient, respectful, and tailored to the individual. Every session is designed to move at the client’s pace, with clear explanations and practical, hands-on guidance.

Today, Senior Tech Assist works closely with seniors across the Sunshine Coast, offering both in-home visits and remote assistance depending on comfort and needs.
