IT support in Templestowe — for family firms and Village shopfronts
Managed IT and cybersecurity for Templestowe's family-run firms and Templestowe Village shops and clinics, from engineers a short drive away in Greensborough.
Who provides IT support in Templestowe?
Key IT provides managed IT support and cybersecurity in Templestowe from its Greensborough headquarters, about 7 km away as the crow flies, with a helpdesk open Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. In 1919 Templestowe's fruit growers formed a co-operative and built their own cool store. Today the suburb's businesses fill shopfronts, consulting rooms and home studies, and family-run ones share a weak spot: one person often holds every key. Key IT's answer is security-first managed IT from our Melbourne engineers, watched by a 24/7 SOC. Our Greensborough headquarters, the base for our IT support across Melbourne, sits just across the Yarra.
When the business and the family share the keys
A sign-in for every person
No shared logins, and admin rights kept on separate named accounts. The Australian Cyber Security Centre says shared, non-attributable admin accounts don't meet the intent of restricting administrative privileges, one of the Essential 8 strategies.
Keys that survive a holiday
Domain, Microsoft 365 admin and accounting logins recorded and recoverable, so one person's holiday, illness or retirement never locks the business out.
Village shopfronts
Point-of-sale, EFTPOS and customer Wi-Fi kept apart from the back-office PC, and cameras, alarms and door access installed and supported by the same team that runs your IT.
Consulting rooms
Every practitioner and receptionist on their own login to the practice and booking software, never a shared front-desk password.
From Anderson Street counters to the books kept at home
At Templestowe Village, an IGA supermarket on Parker Street anchors the shops, and Anderson Street adds cafés, a post office, and GP and dental rooms. In a family firm run from home, with a founder who set everything up and a daughter doing the books, closeness breeds risky habits: one mailbox password everybody knows, or a personal Gmail still receiving supplier invoices. Payment-redirection scams feed on exactly that. We move firms onto properly configured Microsoft 365 with multi-factor sign-in, and add tested backups so the accounts file never lives on one laptop.
Frequently asked questions
Can you support a shop or clinic in Templestowe Village?
Yes. For a trader or practice around Anderson Street, Key IT can support tills and booking systems, separate guest Wi-Fi from business devices, and look after cameras alongside the network.
How far do your engineers travel to reach Templestowe?
Not far. Key IT's Greensborough office is about 7 km away as the crow flies, just across the Yarra. Plenty of problems can be fixed remotely, with no visit needed at all. We cover Templestowe Lower and Doncaster too.
One family member holds every password. Where do we start?
With a list of who can access email, the domain, accounting software and the router. Key IT then gives everyone their own sign-in, and recovery details move somewhere the business controls.
Will we be locked into a fixed term?
No. Key IT works month to month at a fixed fee per user, with no term to buy out if the business changes hands. Domain, Microsoft 365 admin and accounting logins stay recorded and recoverable, so the next owner or generation isn't locked out either.

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.

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.

We've been working with Elias at Key IT for our IT support for the last 8 years, and have been most satisfied with their knowledge and service. In an office of non-technically minded workers, whenever we face an issue, Key IT responds promptly. They are patient and professional, and explain issues in plain English. They understand our IT needs, and we call on them whenever we need an upgrade.
