Why Choose Bloomin Computer for your business?
IT Professional with years of experience
With years of hands‑on experience across public, private, and contracted IT environments, I bring a deep and adaptable skill set to every engagement. I’ve managed complex systems, supported diverse user bases, and delivered reliable technical solutions in fast‑paced and high‑expectation settings. My professionalism, strong attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job right underpin every project I take on. Clients value my friendly, easy‑going demeanour, clear communication style, and ability to remove the jargon so they feel confident and supported. Whether troubleshooting, implementing new technologies, or providing strategic guidance, I approach every task with integrity, thoroughness, and a genuine passion for helping people get the most out of their technology.
Fast & friendly support
When something goes wrong, you need support that’s fast, friendly, and genuinely helpful. I pride myself on providing prompt assistance, with most jobs being actioned within the same business day and urgent issues addressed as quickly as possible. You get clear communication, a calm and approachable demeanour, and solutions delivered without the jargon — just reliable IT support that keeps your business moving.
Support that doesn’t break the bank
I believe in open, transparent pricing — no surprises and no hidden catches. My managed support starting from as little as $50 a month, giving sole traders and small businesses an affordable way to stay on top of their IT needs. This base plan does not include troubleshooting time or travel to your business premises, but it does provide a reliable foundation of ongoing support. For roughly the cost of an egg‑and‑bacon roll and a coffee each week, you can have dependable, professional IT coverage that genuinely supports your business.
Fully Insured
Nobody is infallible, and while I conduct myself to the highest professional standard, unexpected issues or circumstances outside of my control can occasionally arise. To ensure complete peace of mind for my clients, I am fully insured with both professional indemnity and cyber liability coverage. This means you can trust that your business is protected, and that every service I provide is backed by responsible, industry‑standard safeguards.
Proactive IT management
Your business runs best when your technology runs smoothly — and that doesn’t happen by accident. With proactive IT management, I monitor, maintain, and optimise your systems before issues arise. Regular health checks, updates, and preventative maintenance ensure your devices stay reliable, your workflows stay efficient, and your business avoids costly downtime. Just because issues aren’t appearing every day doesn’t mean nothing is happening — I’m constantly monitoring your IT environment so you never have to worry about whether you’re getting value. You’re not paying for problems; you’re paying for peace of mind, stability, and a professional who stays ahead of the curve.
No lock in contracts
I don’t believe in locking clients into long contracts. My service operates on a simple month‑to‑month basis, giving you complete freedom and control. If you’re ever unhappy with the support you receive, find a more suitable option, or your business outgrows what you need from me, you can step away at any time — no penalties, no pressure, just straightforward, flexible IT support.
Ipswich local
I’m proudly based in Ipswich, and supporting my local community is at the heart of what I do. When you choose me, you’re not dealing with someone overseas or a faceless call centre — you’re working with a real local who can be there at your business when you need help. I’m committed to providing genuine, in‑person support that feels personal, reliable, and connected to the community we share.
My Managed IT services
User Administration
I take the stress out of user management by handling onboarding, offboarding, and new‑starter laptop setups from day one. I set up accounts, permissions, shared drives, shared mailboxes, and access controls across both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.I also manage your licensing and billing so you always know exactly who has access to your organisation’s data — and I make sure you’re only paying for the accounts and services you actually need. The result is a clean, secure, efficient environment that’s easy to run and simple to maintain.
Computer fleet troubleshooting and management
Whether your team uses PCs, Macs, or a mix of both, I keep your entire device fleet secure, updated, and running reliably. If a laptop or desktop fails, I’ll have a replacement ready with all your files, apps, and settings restored so your workday isn’t disrupted. I maintain your devices according to your budget and long‑term plans, and I’ll guide you through operating‑system upgrades, hardware refreshes, and lifecycle management when the time comes — ensuring your technology stays modern, stable, and ready for business.
Printer management
Whether you’re using a small home‑office printer or a full multifunction Canon or Toshiba device, I take care of everything. I handle troubleshooting, connectivity issues, toner orders, installations, and full device setup — including configuring reliable scan‑to‑email functions for your team. And if a printer finally gives up, I’ll ensure a replacement is ready with your settings restored so your business keeps running without interruption.
Office Wi-Fi and firewall setup
I can set up your office or home internet properly — whether you need full Wi‑Fi coverage, a wired network using switches and cabling, or a mix of both. I make sure your connection is fast, stable, and secure, and I handle all troubleshooting and network extensions as your business grows. From slow devices and patchy Wi‑Fi to connecting label printers, security cameras, and other peripherals, I keep your entire network running smoothly and reliably.
Cyber Security Monitoring
I harden your small business’s security to protect you from unwanted and malicious attacks. From keeping your website updated and secure, to enforcing multi‑factor authentication, password managers, and strong access policies, I help you and your staff build safe habits around passwords, two‑factor authentication, and regular rotations. I also manage regular backups using the 3‑2‑1 rule, ensuring your data is protected across multiple locations. If your business were ever attacked, you’d be able to get back online quickly with minimal disruption — keeping your operations safe, stable, and resilient.
Application Support
I take care of the back‑end support for any third‑party apps your business relies on — Xero, MYOB, Slack, Trello, Mailchimp, Calendly, QuickBooks and more. I handle account creation and removal, licensing, general troubleshooting, and training so you and your staff can use these tools efficiently. Instead of wasting time fixing app issues yourself, you can stay focused on running your business while I keep everything working smoothly behind the scenes.
Data Backup and Disaster recovery
I make sure your business data is safely backed up long before disaster strikes. Using solid backup practices — whether to USB, cloud, or a dedicated NAS — I ensure your files are protected and recoverable. If the worst‑case scenario ever happens, I’ll get your business back up and running quickly with minimal downtime, so you can keep operating without missing a beat.
IT Consultancy
If you’re looking to grow your business, explore new applications, or invest in new equipment, I can guide you through it. I help you trial new software, show you how to use it effectively, and set up new devices so they deliver real benefits to your business. I also provide IT training on unfamiliar products — especially modern AI tools — so you and your team can confidently use new technology to streamline workflows and boost productivity. Whether you’re upgrading, expanding, or simply improving how you work, I offer practical, hands‑on advice to make sure your technology supports your goals.
Remote and onsite support
I can provide all my services either remotely or right there in your office, with fast response times — usually within an hour, and most jobs completed the same day. Even when everything is running smoothly, I still make the effort to drop in and show face, keeping your business supported, connected, and confident that help is never far away.

About Me
Hi, I’m Chris. I live in One Mile, Ipswich, and I’ve spent many years working in IT across both the public and private sectors, as well as contracting independently. Before all that, I served in the Australian Defence Force.
I’ve always had a passion for computers and helping people, which is exactly why I started Bloomin Computer. The name comes from something I hear from clients all the time when they’re frustrated with their tech — though the real version is usually a bit less “PG” than bloomin’.
I’m friendly, easy‑going, and committed to doing the job right. I make sure you never get lost in tech jargon, and I believe in being open and honest when it comes to my pricing on a job. And one thing I can guarantee if I can’t fix it you don’t pay!
