About First Assist

Helping Tasmanian businesses since 1998.

We started when servers lived in cupboards and "the cloud" was weather. Twenty-seven years and every major IT transition later, we're still doing the same thing: acting as the outsourced IT department for businesses across Tasmania - from our home in Launceston.

What we believe

Four things we've never compromised on.

Proactive, not reactive

IT support shouldn't be a fire brigade. We find and fix problems before your team notices them - that's the whole point of a fixed monthly fee.

Genuinely responsive

The thing clients mention most is how fast we answer. 95% of calls are picked up within 30 seconds - and connected straight to an engineer who works on your problem there and then, not a ticket number.

Security first, always

The Essential Eight is built into every plan, not sold as a scary add-on. Good security should be standard, like seatbelts.

No surprise invoices

One fixed monthly fee covering support, maintenance and security. If we quote a project, that's the number you pay.

The team

The people who answer the phone.

Decades of combined experience across IT support, security, networking and business technology - all based in Launceston.
