Entity names are GoodWe's; the structure, the maths and the traps apply to any inverter with a local connection. - [IT Requirements for Medical and Allied Health Practices in Australia](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/it-requirements-for-medical-and-allied-health-practices-in-australia/): A medical practice holds the most sensitive data a small business can hold, and the law treats it that way. The small-business exemption in the Privacy Act does not apply to anyone providing a health service, so a two-physio clinic in Robina carries the same obligations as a hospital. This is the technology baseline for a general practice, specialist rooms or an allied health clinic in 2026. - [Storm Season IT Checklist for Queensland Businesses](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/storm-season-it-checklist-for-queensland-businesses/): Storm season on the Gold Coast runs from October to April. Somewhere in that window the power will drop mid-afternoon, come back twice, and go again. The damage to your IT is done in the second or two of that flicker, not in the hours the lights are off. This is what to do in September so that January is an inconvenience rather than a claim. - [Windows 10 Is Out of Support: Upgrade, Replace or Pay](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/windows-10-is-out-of-support-upgrade-replace-or-pay/): Windows 10 stopped getting security updates in October 2025. The paid extension that kept business machines patched for a year runs out on 13 October 2026, and the second year costs double. If you still have Windows 10 desktops in the office, this is the month to decide what happens to them. - [Wi-Fi That Reaches the Whole Building: Mesh, Access Points, and Why the Provider’s Router Falls Short](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/wi-fi-that-reaches-the-whole-building-mesh-access-points-and-why-the-providers-router-falls-short/): The router your internet provider posted out was built to a price and put where the NBN cable came in, which is usually a cupboard at one end of the building. Wi-Fi does not go through rendered brick, foil-backed insulation or a Colorbond shed wall, and no plan upgrade changes that. - [The 3-2-1 Backup Rule for a Small Business: What to Keep, Where, and Why Microsoft 365 Is Not a Backup](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/the-3-2-1-backup-rule-for-a-small-business-what-to-keep-where-and-why-microsoft-365-is-not-a-backup/): Ask a business owner whether they have backups and most say yes. Ask where the backup is and the answer is usually "the cloud", meaning Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. That is where the data lives. It is not a backup of it. Ransomware, a deleted mailbox and a disgruntled ex-employee with admin rights all reach the cloud copy just fine. - [NBN Connection Types in Australia: What You Have, How to Fix It, and How to Get Off Copper](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/nbn-connection-types-in-australia-what-you-have-how-to-fix-it-and-how-to-get-off-copper/): Seven different technologies deliver the NBN to Australian homes and businesses, and they fail in different ways. The fix for a dropout on FTTN has nothing in common with the fix for a dropout on HFC, and half the "NBN is down" calls we take on the Gold Coast turn out to be the router, the Wi-Fi or the plan. - [Home Assistant and Claude Code: Setup, Usage and Control From Your Phone](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/home-assistant-claude-code/): Home Assistant runs the house. Claude Code runs in a terminal and can read files, run commands and talk to other services over MCP. Connect the two and you can ask Claude to check the state of every exposed device, write automations, dig through logs and fix a broken YAML block, from the same window you use for everything else. - [Monitoring Your Solar and Battery in Home Assistant (GoodWe and Others)](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/home-assistant-solar-battery-monitoring/): The manufacturer's app shows you today's generation and the battery percentage. Home Assistant shows you the lot, keeps the history on your own hardware, and lets you act on it: run the pool pump when export starts, hold the hot water until the battery is full, get a notification when the inverter faults at 2pm on a Tuesday. - [Does Your Business Need an Incident Response Plan? (With Free Fillable Template)](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/incident-response-plan-template/): There is no single law that says "you must have an incident response plan" — but between the NDB scheme, the Cyber Security Act's 72-hour ransomware reporting, insurer requirements and directors' duties, the requirement is real. What a plan must contain, and a free fillable PDF template to build yours. - [IT Requirements for Accounting Firms in Australia: The 2026 Baseline (Including Offshore Teams)](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/it-requirements-accounting-firms-australia/): Tranche 2 AML/CTF, the TPB Code Determination and record data breach numbers have made an accounting practice's technology stack a regulated object — and offshore staff add a layer of obligations that are largely technical in how they get satisfied. What current Australian regulation demands of your infrastructure. - [IT Requirements for Law Firms in Australia: The 2026 Baseline](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/it-requirements-law-firms-australia/): Tranche 2 AML/CTF obligations, record data breach numbers and new court protocols on AI have made a law firm's technology stack a regulated object. Here's what current Australian regulation actually demands of your infrastructure — and how Mobile Techs IT Consulting builds and maintains that baseline. - [IT Services for Child Care Centres in Queensland: Privacy, Data Security and Compliance](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/child-care-it-services-queensland/): Queensland child care centres must protect sensitive family data under the Privacy Act and NQF.

Here's how it works and how to set it up. - [Public Wi-Fi and Hotspot Safety](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/public-wi-fi-and-hotspot-safety/): Free public Wi-Fi is not what it seems.

In a single pass we map your exposed services, test your defences with a full port sweep, check your TLS certificates, email security (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) and DNS, and correlate everything against live threat intelligence — including the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue — so you fix what attackers are exploiting first. - [Asterisk PBX Custom Dial Plan](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/service/asterisk-pbx-custom-dial-plan/): Get your Asterisk-based phone system working the way your business does.

We can also build and configure a custom Linux-based VoIP server on the open-source Asterisk platform. - [Virus & Malware Removal](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/service/virus-malware-removal/): Mobile Techs offers a comprehensive service to remove viruses, trojans, ransomware, spyware, adware and other unwanted programs from any computer or laptop — Windows or Mac, all major brands.

A Mobile Techs Managed Service contract gives you one for a predictable monthly cost: your computers, servers and network proactively monitored, patched and protected around the clock, with unlimited remote support whenever someone needs a hand. Since 2008 we've been the IT department for Gold Coast businesses that don't like surprises. - [Website and Server Security](https://www.mobiletechs.com.au/service/website-server-security/): If your website runs WordPress, Joomla or another content management system, check when it — and every plugin on it — was last updated.
