We've earned the longevity
Same Perth business since 2002. The technology has shifted many times over. The principles haven't. We adapt the tools and the methods. We don't change who we are. Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade.
Why Consider IT
Twenty-four years. Eighty-five businesses. Still answering the phone.
We’re a four-person Perth team with forty combined years in IT, looking after small and medium businesses across Western Australia since 2002. The technology has changed many times over. The principles haven’t.
The questions we hear
Every week, business owners come to us with the same kinds of questions:
- Why is this still broken?
- Are we actually protected, or just lucky so far?
- Why does IT always cost more than we expected?
- Why do I only hear from IT when something goes wrong?
- How much time are our staff losing to technology that should just work?
- Is our IT helping the business grow, or quietly holding it back?
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. They’re the questions we built Consider IT to answer.
We make IT one less thing business owners need to worry about.
Twenty-four years in business. Eighty-five active clients across Western Australia. Forty years of combined team experience. Behind those numbers is a simple job: keep the technology behind your business reliable, safe, and out of the way, so you can focus on what you actually do.
How we actually work
Less talk about how we’re different. More about what working with us looks like in practice.
We solve the problems others walk away from
An unusual line-of-business app. A tricky compliance requirement. A half-broken phone system. A vendor no one wants to deal with. We lean in. Problem-solving is the actual job, and we've done it across construction, trades, allied health, accounting, legal, and more.
We adapt to what's coming
Cloud. Cyber. AI. Each new wave changes the rules. We invest in training, modern tooling, and quiet experimentation, so our clients don't get left behind and don't get sold the wrong thing.
We're rooted in this community
We've watched Perth businesses grow, change, and ride out tough years. We've ridden them out alongside them. We support local trades, local professionals, and local owners, because that's who we are too.
Practical IT guidance for Perth businesses
Technology decisions can be time-consuming, confusing, and expensive when you are trying to run a business at the same time.
We understand that because we run a Perth business too, and we have spent years helping local small and medium businesses make better technology decisions.
We explain your options in a way that’s easy to follow, recommend solutions that fit your budget, help plan upgrades, train your team, monitor your environment, and keep your systems safer and more reliable.
We can also deal directly with your software vendors, internet providers, phone carriers, hardware suppliers, and other technology providers, so you are not stuck chasing multiple companies when something needs to change or be fixed.
The result is simpler decision-making, better coordination, fewer avoidable problems, and technology that supports your business rather than slowing it down.
What working with us looks like
The day-to-day reality of having Consider IT in your corner.
Prevention first
We work to stop problems before they reach your team or your customers. The cheapest, quietest fix is the one that never happens.
Continuous improvement
We don't just close tickets. We use what we learn from each one to improve your environment over time, so the same issue doesn't come back.
Plain English
We explain what matters in language you can act on. No jargon walls, no patronising. If we can't explain it simply, we go away and figure out how to.
Predictable monthly cost
A flat per-user investment covering everything you'd reasonably expect, so you can budget without surprise bills landing at month end.
People, systems, and data
We look after the whole picture, not just the boxes on desks. Your staff, your processes, and the information that runs your business.
Real people in Perth
When you call us, you reach a technician who knows your business by name, knows your team, and genuinely cares about getting you back on your feet.
What we’re built on
Founded in Perth in 2002. Forty years of combined team experience. Eighty-five active clients across Western Australia. Microsoft Partner, Sophos Silver Partner, Kaseya Gold Partner, SMB1001 Gold Certified.
The thing we’re proudest of is the simplest one: clients stay with us. Some have been with us for over a decade. They don’t stay because of the certifications or the technology. They stay because we genuinely care about their business, and they know it.

In their words
What our clients say
“We've worked with Consider IT for years. They feel like part of our team. When something breaks, they're calm, quick, and honest about what's actually going on.”
Henderson & Co Accounting, Perth
“David and the team don't talk down to us. They explain what we need to know, in plain English, and let us get on with running the business.”
Aspire Allied Health
“The peace of mind is what we pay for. We've stopped thinking about IT, which means we can think about everything else.”
Coastal Trades Group
“They moved us to the cloud over a long weekend. Monday morning everyone logged in like nothing had happened. That's the dream.”
Sullivan Engineering
“We've been with Terry and David for over a decade. They know our quirks. They've seen us grow. That kind of relationship is rare in IT.”
Chen Property Services
“We had a phishing scare last year. Consider IT had alerted us before the staff member even realised what they'd clicked. That alone paid for the year.”
Bartolo Civil Contracting
“Maria is wonderful to deal with on the admin side. The whole experience feels like dealing with people, not a corporate machine.”
Wickham Family Law
“Switching to a managed plan stopped the surprise bills and quietly improved our security at the same time. Should have done it years ago.”
