For a Hobart business, an IT outage is not just an inconvenience. Many firms run lean teams, rely on Microsoft 365 and cloud accounting, and sit a long way from mainland support if something breaks. A provider with technicians on the ground in Greater Hobart can be on site in Glenorchy, Kingston or Rosny Park the same day.
This list covers IT support companies in Hobart with real offices or staff in the city, including managed IT services in Hobart for businesses that want monitoring, security and a help desk for a fixed monthly fee.
Several Tasmanian providers are locally owned and hold state government supplier panel positions, while national firms have opened Hobart offices to support public sector and larger clients.
When comparing, look at response times, on-site coverage, security standards such as the Essential Eight, and how easily you can leave the contract.

Intuit Technologies was founded in Tasmania and keeps its head office at 39 Sandy Bay Road in Hobart, with a second office in Launceston and regional field services covering the rest of the state. It says Tasmania has been its home base for nearly 30 years and that more than 90 of its staff are based here. Its managed services operation is headquartered in Tasmania, and it covers advisory, solution design, deployment, Microsoft cloud, networking, security as a service and 24/7 support.
Intuit suits public sector agencies, government business enterprises, councils and larger private companies that need a provider with depth. It reports long-standing relationships across those sectors and representation on major state and local government panels, and its partners include Microsoft, Dell Technologies, Fortinet and Telstra Enterprise. Its Tasmanian team also leads national programs. Smaller businesses may find its scale more than they need, but organisations with complex networks and security requirements will appreciate the local bench.
IT Strategic has a Hobart office on Level 5 at 24 Davey Street and a Melbourne office in Collingwood. It says it has been providing IT support and advice since 2001 and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system. Services include managed IT, remote and emergency support, IT audits, cloud, Microsoft 365 and Copilot, business NBN, communications, backup, and on-site remote hands.
Security is a strong focus: the company offers Essential Eight implementation, staff awareness training, endpoint and identity threat detection and response, managed detection and response, and monitored DMARC email protection. It works with government offices, not-for-profits, schools, large enterprises and individuals, and lists the ACSC, Microsoft, Cisco, Huntress and Ubiquiti among its partners. It suits small and mid-sized organisations that want a security-led managed service with a local office. New clients can request a free IT assessment, and support hours run 8:30am to 5:30pm on weekdays.
KMTech (Kaine Mathrick Tech) has a Hobart office on the ground floor at 162 Macquarie Street and describes itself as an Australian, cyber-first managed IT services provider. Its managed service includes a service desk, 24/7 monitoring, patch management, backup and disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 and cloud management, and IT planning, with co-managed options for businesses that have their own IT staff.
KMTech suits organisations that need to show auditors or clients a security standard. It is ISO 27001 certified, aligns its security work with the ACSC Essential Eight, and offers compliance as a service for ISO 27001 as well as managed security. Its Hobart team provides on-site and remote support across Greater Hobart and statewide, with scheduled visits to northern and regional areas. Awards listed on its site include Cloud Tango MSP Select 2026 and Channel Futures MSP 501 2025. Pricing is a monthly fee, usually per user, based on users, devices, security needs and on-site requirements.
Brennan opened a dedicated Hobart office on Level 5 at 86 Collins Street in 2025. The company describes itself as Australia’s largest independently owned systems integrator and managed IT services provider, with nearly three decades of experience. In Tasmania it offers networking, cloud and infrastructure, cybersecurity, data and AI, hardware and software, Microsoft Dynamics, modern workplace services and a service desk.
Brennan suits larger organisations and public sector bodies that want national resources and a local branch. Tasmanian Branch Manager Karen Murfett has said the company plans to stay on-island long term, investing in a local office, people and partnerships, and the company highlights data sovereignty for clients with strict data requirements. Its Microsoft Dynamics capability also makes it an option for businesses combining IT support with ERP or CRM projects. Office hours are 9am to 5pm on weekdays.
IRIS Computing is a wholly owned and operated Tasmanian company with offices in Hobart and Launceston and a service centre in the North West. It supplies, installs, services and supports IT equipment, builds network and server solutions using Cisco, Lenovo and Acer, and offers managed services and service contracts covering desktops, networks and servers.
IRIS suits schools, offices and organisations with a lot of hardware to look after. It is a preferred supplier under the state government contract for the Department of Education and for private schools, a Lenovo diamond business partner, and an authorised Acer, Cisco, Lexmark and Toshiba partner. Its Hobart team includes Apple Certified Technicians, and it sells and services Lexmark and Toshiba printers and copiers with technicians who have 25 years of experience. That makes it a practical one stop option when support and equipment come from the same place.
Pritech is a locally owned and operated IT provider whose team works from its Hobart office. It says it has supported Tasmanian businesses for more than 20 years. Services cover IT support and managed IT, server management, email and backup, cloud services, IT consulting, disaster recovery, ICT and cyber security, and customised internet.
Pritech suits small and mid-sized Hobart businesses that want a local team that knows their systems and answers quickly, without the layers of a national provider. It serves clients statewide and promises fast response to IT issues. For businesses still running on-premises servers, its server management and disaster recovery services are a useful fit alongside cloud migration work. Pricing is not published, and the company offers a free 30 minute consultation to discuss needs.
ASI Solutions has a Hobart branch at Shop 2, 81 Macquarie Street. It offers 24/7 IT support and monitoring, managed cybersecurity and ransomware protection, Microsoft 365 and cloud management, fully managed and co-managed IT, backup and disaster recovery, and IT strategy. The company is ISO 27001 certified.
ASI suits schools, retail chains and multi-site organisations that want national capability with local delivery across the CBD, Sandy Bay, Kingston and Southern Tasmania. Client logos shown on its Hobart page include Bakers Delight, The Reject Shop, Fahan School, Circular Head Christian School and MacKillop Catholic College, which shows experience with education and retail environments. Its co-managed model is useful for schools with an in-house IT coordinator who needs backup and after hours cover. New clients can book a free IT health check.
First Focus operates a Hobart office on Level 6 at 111 Macquarie Street in the CBD. It is a managed service provider that says it employs more than 300 staff across eight Australian and two international locations, and it provides full-service IT coverage nationally as well as managed IT services for Hobart businesses.
First Focus suits growing businesses with offices both in Tasmania and on the mainland, which benefit from one provider across every site. Its emphasis is on keeping systems consistently available while pairing technical depth with personal service. The size of its national team means specialist skills are available when a Hobart client needs them, while the CBD office provides a local presence. Ask about Hobart-based technician numbers and on-site response times during the proposal stage.
InScope IT describes itself as a Tasmanian managed service provider that is Tasmanian owned and Tasmanian operated, with people on the ground in Hobart, Launceston, Burnie and Devonport. It offers managed IT support as either a full outsourced service desk or overflow escalation for in-house teams, plus professional services and project management, digital security, disaster recovery, cloud and SaaS including Microsoft 365 migrations, VoIP and cloud phone systems, and hardware and software.
InScope suits organisations with offices or sites across Tasmania that want one local provider covering north and south. Its overflow model works well for businesses that already employ an IT person but need extra hands. Technology partners include Microsoft, CrowdStrike, Sophos, Fortinet, HP and HPE. Its stated values are being responsive, honest and local. It does not publish office addresses, so confirm where your Hobart technician is based.
Getbusi is a Hobart technology business on Level 1 at 61 Davey Street that says it has been solving business problems with technology since 2002. Alongside websites, apps and custom systems, it offers IT support services covering email, cloud, security, and device setup and servicing.
Getbusi suits small offices, wineries, retailers and creative businesses that want one local partner for both their IT and their website, rather than a full managed services contract. Its client base spans law firms, distilleries, fashion labels, charities and government departments. The company trains clients to manage their own systems and says it avoids lock-ins and proprietary traps, which appeals to owners who want to stay in control. Pricing is agreed upfront with a clear scope, and it offers a free one hour consult.
Many national providers market to Hobart without a local office. Ask where the nearest technician is based, how quickly they can be on site in suburbs such as Moonah, Bellerive or Kingston, and whether on-site visits cost extra. Every company on this list has an office or staff in the city.
Most managed IT in Hobart is billed monthly per user or per device, with the price depending on security requirements, compliance needs and how much on-site support is included. Ask for a clear list of what is covered, what counts as a project, and the hourly rate for work outside the agreement.
Ask whether the provider implements the ACSC Essential Eight, offers multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, and email protection, and whether it holds certifications such as ISO 27001. This matters if you work with government, health or financial data.
Check guaranteed response times for urgent issues, standard support hours and whether after hours cover is available. Tasmanian businesses with early starts or weekend trade, such as hospitality and agriculture, should confirm coverage outside 9am to 5pm.
Look for month to month terms or short initial contracts, and confirm that admin passwords, documentation and licences belong to your business. A good provider will document your environment so a handover is straightforward if you ever change.
For Hobart IT support, businesses can choose between Tasmanian-founded providers such as Intuit Technologies, IRIS Computing, Pritech and InScope IT, and national firms with local offices such as IT Strategic, KMTech, Brennan, ASI Solutions and First Focus. Getbusi is a practical choice for small offices that want IT and web support from one team.
Match the provider to your size and risk: larger and regulated organisations should prioritise certifications and local depth, while small businesses should focus on response times, clear pricing and flexibility.
