IT support in Kew — secure IT for professional & medical practices
IT support in Kew for law firms, accountants and medical and dental clinics: security-certified engineers, 24/7 SOC monitoring and no lock-in contract.
What does IT support in Kew include?
Key IT provides IT support in Kew for law firms, accountants, financial advisers and medical, dental and allied-health clinics: managed IT with a helpdesk, Microsoft 365, tested backups, the Essential 8 as your security baseline and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Security-certified engineers deliver it from our Greensborough HQ, with no lock-in contract.
Kew is professional-services and healthcare country. The practices around Kew Junction, High Street and Glenferrie Road are built on discretion and on the sensitive client and patient records they hold. That makes security and compliance the whole game: a breach here isn't just downtime, it's privacy obligations, regulators and a damaged reputation.
How does Key IT keep a Kew practice compliant?
We put the controls your obligations call for in place, then keep the evidence: access controls, encryption, monitored backups and an incident plan, documented so you can show an auditor, insurer or regulator what protects your data. Whether the rulebook is the Privacy Act, your professional body or a health-records standard, the test is the same: control who sees sensitive data, prove it, and be ready if something goes wrong. We do it quietly, without turning your practice into an IT project. For clinics, size makes no difference: the Privacy Act's small business exemption doesn't apply to health service providers, so a Kew clinic of any size must notify the OAIC and affected patients of an eligible data breach.

What IT do Kew's law firms, accountants and clinics need?
Every Kew practice needs the same foundation (multi-factor sign-in, monitored email and backups we test-restore), then controls shaped to the regulator it answers to. Kew leans heavily to legal, finance and accounting, and healthcare and medical practices, so that's where we start, not with a generic checklist:
Law firms
Settlement and trust-account payment details travel by email, so we harden mailboxes against payment-redirection fraud and restrict matter files to the people working on them.
Accountants and financial advisers
Client tax and portfolio data locked down with access controls and encryption, and the controls documented for insurer and licensee questionnaires.
GP and specialist clinics
On Best Practice, its own backup runs alongside our separate immutable copy, and we track NASH, PRODA and HPOS certificate expiry so e-prescribing and secure messaging don't stop.
Dental practices
The practice server and imaging PCs patched, with an immutable backup copy kept apart; see our dental IT support.
Frequently asked questions
Do you understand medical and legal compliance?
Yes. We work with healthcare, legal and finance practices and put in the access controls, backups and records protection your obligations require — and help you evidence them.
Can you support our practice-management or clinical software?
Yes. We keep your core systems running and secure, and coordinate with software vendors when needed.
What happens if we have a breach or data loss?
Key IT's 24/7 SOC service watches your systems to catch an attack early, your backups are tested so data can be restored, and our incident response plan is ready to contain it. We also help you work out whether it's a notifiable data breach and support you through notifying the OAIC if it is.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Agreements with Key IT run month to month at a fixed monthly price per user, so there's no multi-year term to sign and nothing holding you but the service.
Do you offer small business IT support in Kew?
Yes. Our small business IT support covers Kew firms and clinics of any size with a helpdesk, Microsoft 365 management, backups and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Pricing scales per user, so a small team pays for a small team.
Do your engineers come onsite in Kew, or is support remote?
Both. The helpdesk fixes what it can remotely during business hours (8am to 5pm weekdays), and engineers travel to Kew from Greensborough for onsite support such as installs, network faults and new-starter setups. Managed clients can also reach an on-call engineer when something urgent breaks after hours.
How much does IT support cost for a Kew business?
Managed IT in Melbourne is generally charged per user per month, typically roughly $100–$200 per user for small business plans, with the figure set by what's included. Key IT charges a fixed monthly fee and quotes against your actual setup after a free review.

They understand our IT needs, and we call on them whenever we need an upgrade.
