Programs for retirement village managers
A resident wellbeing service — not a generic IT help desk
Residents need patient help with personal devices, while village teams need a safe, bookable program with clear scope, boundaries and reporting.
Management gains a repeatable program
Pre-booked sessions, clear service limits and de-identified themes make the program easier to coordinate.
Families gain a trusted local pathway
With resident consent, families can arrange follow-up, repair pickup or additional support outside the clinic.
Village packages and pricing
Each package can be trialled before a longer partnership. Repairs, parts and personal resident purchases remain separate.
Digital Confidence Workshop — tailored estimate
A 60-minute group workshop for up to approximately 20 residents, including a plain-English guide and question time.
Village Tech Help Day — tailored estimate
Up to four onsite hours with pre-booked resident appointments and a de-identified service summary.
Full Village Tech Day — tailored estimate
Up to seven onsite hours for approximately 10–14 appointments, plus general scam-safety guidance and management coordination.
Community Tech Partnership — tailored estimate
A recurring half-day clinic, quarterly workshop, management contact, new-resident material and de-identified reporting.
Community Tech Plus — from a current indicative estimate

Three-month pilot — tailored estimate 700–a current indicative estimate

How a village pilot is introduced
1. Discovery call with managementWe confirm resident profile, space, booking process, privacy expectations and likely demand.
2. Agree the pilot scheduleChoose clinic dates, appointment length and one workshop topic.
3. Promote and pre-book residentsThe village controls internal communication and appointments.
4. Deliver and reviewWe provide de-identified themes, operational feedback and a recommendation for the next period.
Safeguarding, privacy and service boundaries
No pressure and no surprise work
Clinic appointments and workshop scope are agreed with management before delivery, while resident repairs and personal purchases remain separate.
Privacy-respecting support
Village reports focus on de-identified service themes rather than private messages, passwords or unnecessary resident details.
Family involvement by consent
Family participation occurs only with resident consent and within the village’s visitor and safeguarding arrangements.
We do not provide clinical care, financial advice or access residents’ money. Management reports contain service themes rather than resident passwords, private messages or unnecessary personal details.

We welcome enquiries from villages in Epping, Wollert, Lalor, Mill Park, South Morang, Mernda, Thomastown, Bundoora and surrounding suburbs.
Retirement Village Tech Program FAQs
Who pays for resident repairs?
The village program covers only the agreed clinic or workshop scope. Individual repairs, parts and personal services are quoted separately to the resident or authorised payer.
Will management receive resident information?
Management receives only the reporting agreed for the program, normally de-identified service themes and operational information.
Can residents bring several devices?
Appointment limits are set in advance. One main device or problem per appointment usually provides the fairest access.
Can family members attend?
Yes, when the resident agrees and the village’s visitor arrangements allow it.
Can we start without a long contract?
Yes. The three-month pilot is designed to test demand and refine the program before an ongoing agreement.
