Normally I provide it to support existing clients, and charge a minimum fee, but have a billing system can track time to the nearest minute, so during lockdown, if you need help, I'll waive the minimum fee and you'll be charged only for the actual time used.
You can download the support software from the link provided. It's preconfigured so that only Create IT can connect remotely to your computer, and only after you explicitly grant permission, and phone to confirm.
Being a local home based IT business, lockdown doesn't have much impact, but last lockdown I had to provide considerable IT support to my own household, so I want others to know that they can get help if they need it, without bursting their bubble.
I am reasonably busy, but will help if I can.
Why volunteer? Because your whānau (family) will be proud of you! It's short and simple but it's just as valid a reason to start volunteering as any other!

There is currently 23 locations of interest, 10 in Auckland and 13 in Coromandel. Current locations of interest can be found here.
The case has no links to the border and interviews are currently being undertaken with the case to find any possible locations of interest and how they came to be in contact with Covid-19.
Here's what you need to know:
- A refresh on Level restrictions and what it means for you.

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.
Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽
