IT support & cybersecurity for Carindale businesses.
Carindale runs on established small businesses across the eastern suburbs, and that is who I look after. I’m Ewan, an IT consultant based in Inala in Brisbane’s south west - 15+ years, no outsourcing, no overseas helpdesk. When something breaks or needs locking down properly, you get me, not a queue.
Why Carindale?
Carindale is established eastern-suburbs territory - Westfield Carindale at the centre, with medical and dental practices, financial and legal services, real estate agencies and long-running family businesses spread through the surrounding suburbs. These are businesses that have usually accumulated years of IT decisions: old PCs, mixed email setups, files in three different places. Nobody made a bad choice; it just grew that way.
I'm based in Inala, about half an hour across the southside, so Carindale sits at the eastern edge of my regular on-site range - which matters less than it sounds, because most support work is remote anyway. Day-to-day issues are usually sorted remotely, and I schedule on-site visits for the hardware and setup jobs that genuinely need one.
Who I help in Carindale: Medical and dental practices, financial and legal services, real estate agencies and family businesses.
What I help Carindale businesses with
- Microsoft 365 setup, security and support
- Email security (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) so no one spoofs your domain
- Managed IT - monitoring, updates and priority support
- Cybersecurity health checks and breach monitoring
Based in Inala and available on site across Carindale when needed - or remotely when that is faster.
“We've worked with Ewan for a couple of years now and honestly he's a machine. There's never been a tech problem he can't solve.”
Carindale questions, straight answers
- Do you do on-site visits in Carindale?
- Yes, scheduled ones - Carindale is about half an hour from my base in Inala, so I plan visits rather than drop in. It matters less than you'd think: most problems are fixed remotely the same day.
- Our IT has grown messy over the years. Where would you start?
- With a free health check. It maps what you've got, flags the real risks - shared passwords, no MFA, untested backups - and gives you a short, prioritised list. Then we fix things in order, not all at once.
Also servicing nearby: Mount Gravatt and Brisbane CBD.
