Senior Tech Assist Sunshine Coast
Senior Tech Assist
Senior Tech Assist is an Australian technology support service created specifically for older adults who want to feel comfortable, confident, and in control of modern technology. The business provides personalised, easy-to-understand assistance for everyday digital needs, helping seniors make practical use of devices, online services, and emerging technology.
Rather than focusing on technical complexity, Senior Tech Assist prioritises clarity, patience, and real-world usefulness. Every service is delivered with the understanding that technology should support independence, connection, and quality of life — not create stress or confusion.
Business History & Background
Senior Tech Assist was established in response to a growing and often overlooked problem: many seniors were struggling with technology not because of lack of ability, but because existing support options were unsuitable for their needs. Fast-paced IT services, automated help desks, and jargon-heavy explanations left many older people feeling frustrated and excluded.
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in digital technology, online systems, and user education, the founder recognised the need for a service designed from the ground up for seniors. Senior Tech Assist was created to bridge the gap between rapidly evolving technology and the people who want to use it with confidence and understanding.
What began as one-on-one assistance for basic device setup has grown into a comprehensive support service covering digital organisation, online safety, smart home technology, and confidence-building education. Today, Senior Tech Assist supports seniors across the Sunshine Coast through in-home visits and remote assistance.
People Behind Senior Tech Assist
Ashley Bryan — Founder
Senior Tech Assist is founded and led by Ashley Bryan, an experienced digital professional with a strong background in technology support, training, and problem-solving. Ashley is known for a calm, approachable manner and a commitment to explaining technology in plain English.
The business was built on the belief that learning technology should feel safe and empowering. Ashley works closely with clients to ensure they understand not just what to do, but why it works — helping build long-term confidence rather than reliance on ongoing support.
Senior Tech Assist remains intentionally personal, allowing clients to receive consistent, trustworthy assistance from someone who understands their individual needs and learning style.
