Remote computer support in Wollongong
Some computer problems can be investigated without an onsite visit. Australian Computer Doctors offers remote support for suitable email, software and setup tasks for Wollongong customers, as well as our regular home and workplace service.
The computer needs to be running with a usable internet connection. Describe the problem first so we can discuss whether remote access is appropriate, explain the process and pricing, and arrange the help with you.

Remote support lets a technician view or work on the computer with your permission during the arranged session. You can explain what is happening and ask questions while the issue is investigated.
It is not a replacement for physical inspection or repairs. If a hardware fault, failed connection or other limitation prevents useful remote work, we can discuss an onsite appointment instead.
- Investigate suitable email application and account issues.
- Help with program settings and everyday software tasks.

- Consider whether a visit is needed instead.
Getting ready for the appointment

Common questions
Can you fix every computer problem remotely?
No. Remote help needs a running device and working connection, and some problems require physical access. We discuss suitability first and can explain onsite options where needed.
Can you help a Mac remotely?
Suitable Mac software and email tasks can be considered alongside Windows support. Tell us the computer and problem so we can discuss whether a remote session is practical.
Do I need to know how to connect?
We will explain the arranged process. You do not need to choose a remote tool before contacting us, but you need to be able to use the computer and follow the connection instructions.
Can I ask for a home visit instead?
Yes. We also provide onsite computer repairs and support in Wollongong. Explain what you need help with and we can discuss the appropriate service and appointment arrangements.
How do I find out about pricing?
Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on (02) 4231 4567 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
How long should I allow for the job?
Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
