About Chewing IT

A family business that takes the worry out of IT.

Chewing IT is a family-operated IT support business on the Central Coast & Newcastle, specialising in IT support for residential customers and small businesses.

Our story

Chewing IT was founded by Mat in 2014, after watching his elderly parents receive poor — and costly — guidance on a computer problem. He'd already spent years supporting Central Coast businesses and decided to build something different: a diligent, reliable computer support business that homes and small businesses could actually trust.

Before launching, Mat completed Microsoft, cyber-security and networking certifications and put his hands on every layer of the stack — government networks, business infrastructure, servers, cloud, and end-user computers. The company name comes from the family surname; the promise is that every client gets the same care a family member would.

Today we review the overall technology needs of every client and deliver IT support that feels like having an in-house team sitting in your office. Managed plans cover proactive monitoring, maintenance, priority support and device management — and we pride ourselves on resolving issues as quickly as possible so you can get back to running your business.

We don't oversell. We don't lock you into long contracts. And if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you. That's the deal.

Mat founded Chewing IT in 2014 after watching his elderly parents get costly, low-quality guidance on a computer problem — and deciding small businesses and families on the Coast deserved better. Two-plus decades in the industry, with Microsoft, cyber-security and networking certifications, and a track record across government networks, business infrastructure, servers and cloud. He still gets his hands dirty on the hardest engagements: mergers, cyber incidents, complex migrations.

What we believe

Four principles that shape every recommendation we make and every ticket we close.

Plain-English honesty

No jargon walls, no scare tactics, no commission-driven recommendations. We tell you what you need, what you don't, and why.

Security as a baseline

Every Chewing IT client gets a hardened security baseline — MFA, monitoring, backups, awareness training. Not an upsell. The starting line.

Strategy, not just tickets

Anyone can close a ticket. Real value comes from a roadmap that aligns IT spend with business goals. We build that with you, quarterly.

Local, hands-on, accountable

We live and work on the Coast and in Sydney. When something needs hands on it, we drive over. When something breaks, the buck stops with us.
