They are reliable, a pleasure to deal with and always willing to solve any technical emergency we may confront, whether it requires an on-site visit or via phone support. We highly value their work and recommend them unreservedly!
The team at Key IT have been extremely helpful to our organisation right from the beginning. They have left no stone unturned in their quest to fulfil all our IT needs — including reorganising our IT infrastructure, setting up our network and phone systems, and migrating us to Azure — and are always there to help us when needed. Their knowledge is second to none. Without the team our business would have been in turmoil.
I have always found the team at Key IT to be fast, knowledgeable and professional. We run a number of different businesses from the one server, and my office staff often need assistance solving varied issues. Key IT always comes to the rescue and gets us back on track in a timely fashion. I would have no hesitation recommending the team.
We couldn't be happier that Key IT's expert IT skills popped into our lives here at Premium Capital Finance. Their sheer professionalism is second to none, whether it's their accessibility over the phone or dropping into our office on site — they always do an exceptional job. Would recommend to anyone who needs a reliable, knowledgeable IT expert.
Thank you to the Key IT team. You have always been available, knowledgeable and ready to help with all our IT needs and issues — from expert advice and troubleshooting to hardware.

How much does IT support cost in Melbourne?
Managed IT in Melbourne is usually priced per user per month, with most SMB plans landing in the range of roughly $100–$200 per user depending on what is included — helpdesk hours, security tooling, backup, and after-hours cover all move the number. Key IT prices on a fixed monthly fee so the cost is predictable, and we show you what is included rather than burying it. The fastest way to get a real figure is a free review, where we scope your environment and quote against it.
What is the difference between IT support and managed IT?
Traditional "break-fix" IT support charges you when something breaks — which means the provider only earns money when your technology fails. Managed IT is a fixed monthly fee to keep everything running and secure, with monitoring and maintenance that catch problems before they cause an outage. Managed IT aligns the provider's incentive with yours: fewer problems is the goal for both of you.
Do you offer 24/7 IT support?
Yes. Our helpdesk covers business hours with after-hours and emergency cover available, and our Security Operations Centre monitors for threats 24 hours a day, every day. Cyber attacks and major outages do not keep office hours, so neither does our monitoring.
Are you actually based in Melbourne, or do you outsource overseas?
We are Melbourne-based, with our headquarters in Greensborough. Your helpdesk, your engineers and our SOC are all local. There is no offshore support desk. You can visit our office.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. We work month-to-month with no lock-in contract. We would rather earn your business every month than rely on a contract to keep you. If we are not delivering, you are free to leave.
What size businesses do you work with?
We focus on Melbourne small and medium businesses, typically between 10 and 300 staff. That includes businesses with no internal IT who need everything handled, and businesses with an internal IT person or team who need us to add capacity, security tooling and after-hours cover.
