Help at Home or Over the Phone and Internet

If you are an older Perth resident and a computer, phone or tablet has become hard to manage, or you are arranging help for a parent or relative, it can be hard to know who to trust. Geeks IT Perth sends a technician to your home anywhere in Perth and its suburbs, or helps you remotely over the phone and internet if you prefer. You do not need to bring anything anywhere or work out the problem first. Tell us what is going wrong and we start from there.

We explain things in plain language and go at your pace. You can ask the technician to slow down or go over a step again, and that time is charged at the normal hourly rates. You can also ask us to show you how to do a job yourself, so you know what to do next time.

If a message, call or pop-up has you worried about a possible scam, call us before you click or pay anything. We can look at the device with you, and device checks are charged at our normal hourly rates.

Staying safe with remote help: only allow a remote session that you arranged by calling 08 6385 7940 yourself, and never give access to someone who contacted you unexpectedly.

Onsite visits are $205 per hour and remote help is $125 per hour, with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee. To book, call 08 6385 7940.

Common jobs include

  • Setting up or fixing email, and helping you regain access to accounts when you have forgotten a password (recovery depends on the provider)
  • Getting WiFi working properly around the house
  • Helping with iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets, including clean-up after a virus, scam app or hijacked browser
  • Moving photos off a phone or old computer so they are not lost
  • Fixing slow Windows PCs, Macs and laptops

Can you clean up my phone or tablet if I think it has been hacked?

Yes, for iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets, we clean up viruses, scam apps, malicious profiles and hijacked browsers. We also work on Windows PCs, Macs and laptops.

Can I ask to be shown how to do things myself?

Yes. Our technicians explain things in plain language, and you can ask them to slow down or go over a step again. You can ask to be shown how to do the everyday jobs we help with, such as email, WiFi or moving photos, during a home visit or a remote session. Time is charged at the normal hourly rates.

Tech Help FAQs

Can’t see yours? Call 08 6385 7940.

How much do you charge to help with a computer or phone?

$205 per hour including GST if we come to you, $125 per hour including GST if we can help over a remote connection. One hour is the minimum on either and it is usually all it takes. We tell you the cost before we start, we do not charge extra for explaining something twice, and there is no call-out fee on top.

Will you take your time and explain things properly?

Yes. That is the whole point of this service. We work at your pace, we write things down if you want us to, and we are happy for a family member to be on the phone while we are there.

How patient are you with seniors?

Very patient! We understand technology can be confusing and overwhelming. We explain everything clearly, repeat things as many times as needed, and never rush you. No question is silly — we're here to help you feel confident.

I'm not tech-savvy at all — can you still help?

Absolutely! We specialize in helping people who are new to technology or find it confusing. We start from the very basics and go at your pace. Many of our clients were complete beginners and are now confidently using their devices.

Do you come to my home?

Yes, we come to your home across Perth. It's more comfortable for you, and we can work with your own devices in your familiar environment. We service all Perth metro suburbs from Joondalup to Rockingham.

How long does a session take?

Usually 1-2 hours depending on what you want to learn. We don't rush — we go at your pace and make sure you understand before moving on. Some people book follow-up sessions to learn more or refresh their knowledge.

Can you help with scam emails and online safety?

Definitely. We'll show you how to spot scam emails, avoid phishing attempts, use strong passwords, and stay safe online. Seniors are often targeted by scammers, so we make sure you know what to watch for.

What should I have ready for your visit?

Just your device (phone, tablet, or computer) and any passwords you might need. If you have a list of questions or things you want to learn, that's helpful but not essential. We'll work through whatever you need help with.
