Remote support software

Our technical support team is able to use remote access software so they can see what is happening on your computer - as if they were sitting in front of it. Using this tool they’re often able to diagnose and resolve problems faster than by talking over the phone.

If you are instructed by our technical support team to do so, use the link below to download and install the remote access software.

WorkVentures & Centrelink

More than 30 years after IBM released the Personal Computer, almost 1,500,000 Australian households (17%) still don't have access to a computer or internet access in their home.  The numbers are disproportionately high in households with incomes below $40,000.  
 
WorkVentures and the Australian Government Department of Human Services share a goal of wanting to help all Australians get connected online.  We see technology as a key that can unlock doors to new opportunities and services for those in need.  

WorkVentures supports this objective by:

  • allowing customers to use Centrepay deductions to pay for their computer
  • participating in Centrelink advisory forums for jobseekers and older Australians
  • encouraging its customers to access government social services online
